A rebrand proposal for The Bunker, a local lifestyle and apparel shop in Kansas City, Missouri. The goal of the rebrand was to develop a cohesive identity system for both the in-store and online shopping experiences. I focused heavily on representing the store's morals and beliefs, especially regarding independent style.
