Brighton design studio Baxter & Bailey has designed the new identity for Australian sunglasses company Sunglass Fix, featuring an ‘OO’ visual to represent the accessories.
As well as an identity overhaul, Baxter & Bailey has set new strategy guidelines, redesigned the packaging and created a social media campaign.
Sunglass Fix was established in 2006 as a way to provide a sustainable solution for scratched sunglasses. According to the company, one billion pairs of sunglasses are made every year and it can be difficult to find replacement lenses on a budget.
Its replacement service allows people to find custom-cut lenses for their frames and install them themselves. A pair of replacement Ray-Ban lenses cost around £20, for example. The company now has over 130,000 replacement lens models.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin is an understated man, but when he called the 2002 indemnity deal for religious orders a mistake in an RTÉ documentary earlier this year, he made more than an understatement.
The Taoiseach was in the Cabinet that passed the agreement brought forward by then education minister Dr Michael Woods. The deal agreed saw 18 religious congregations pay a total of €128m in a combination of cash and property in exchange for a State indemnity against all future actions by victims and survivors.
With just two weeks until the big day, Christmas shoppers were out in force on Friday, picking up where they had left off in the pre-lockdown rush.
Before dawn, non-essential shops and cafes were getting ready to raise the shutters for the last big splurge of the year and spirits were already high.
The festive flurry meant Belfast city centre was certainly busier than usual for a Friday morning as queues formed outside many of the most popular retailers from early morning.
Shoppers have just under a fortnight to stockpile for Christmas but it s going to be an equally anxious time for retailers as they try and recoup the losses of a desperately difficult year. Having missed a fortnight of trading during their busiest four weeks of the year, they ve also faced a battle with online rivals.
