When Thames Rocket, one of London’s most iconic high-speed boat tour operators, approached us, they had a clear goal in mind: to create a vessel design that would be instantly recognisable and unforgettable on the water.
They came to us with a strong vision, and our creative team worked closely with them to explore bold design options that aligned with their brand identity. After presenting a range of dynamic concepts, we collaborated to refine and select a final look that delivered maximum visual impact.
Our execution relied on high-tack, marine-grade vinyl materials engineered specifically to endure the challenging conditions of the River Thames.
Developed and tested by Grapefruit, these bespoke films are built to resist UV rays, saltwater exposure, and the constant wear-and-tear of commercial marine activity. Strong adhesion and longevity were essential to ensure the wrap stayed vibrant and secure throughout its service life, reinforcing both brand visibility and professionalism.
One of the standout benefits of choosing a vinyl wrap over traditional paint lies in efficiency and flexibility. Unlike painting, which often requires dry docking and long refit periods, our team was able to apply the wrap with minimal interruption to the build schedule. The creative freedom vinyl provides was crucial in this project. The result is a bold, energetic visual identity that reflects Thames Rocket’s adventurous spirit and stands out to both locals and tourists alike.
Most importantly, the branding is future-proof. Should Thames Rocket update their visual identity or marketing direction, the wrap can be easily replaced or refreshed – without the extensive delays associated with repainting. This adaptability ensures Thames Rocket keep their operations running smoothly, avoiding costly downtime.
