The client

A party rental business wanted to become a container rental business.

A-Renting rents mobile cooling and freezing cells across the Benelux, from a single day to five years. The business grew up around events and festivals, the kind of last-minute cold storage a bar or a food stand needs for a weekend. Good work, but a reputation stuck to it: party rental.

The real demand was moving somewhere heavier. Supermarkets, hospitals, public services, sectors where a cold chain cannot drift and a supplier gets judged on whether it looks like it can be trusted with one. A-Renting could do that work. Nothing about how they showed up said so.

The problem
“Every container that got wrapped came out a little different, killing the brand softly over the years.”

A previous supplier had handed A-Renting a logo, not a brand. Each container wrapped since had come out with slight variations, so the identity drifted a little further every year. Dima came to us through a mutual acquaintance for something small: a touch-up of that logo, so he could start profiling the company properly.

The touch-up did not survive first contact with the real question. To chase regulated, high-trust clients, A-Renting needed to look like a company those buyers could hand a medical or food cold chain to. That is not a cleaner logo. That is a brand, and a plan to roll it out across a fleet that was already half-wrapped.

Every container looked different, making the brand look cheap.
How we solved it

A soft phased-out brand transition.

The proof point is literal: with A-Renting, 2°C is effectively 2°C. That reliability is why their cooling is cleared for heavily regulated sectors like food and medical, and it is backed by integrated service and a 24/7 human who watches the units and fixes them, so the guarantee is a person, not a promise. We made that the spine of the brand and built a dedicated page that walks a buyer through exactly how the watching and fixing works.

Strategy

The logo touch-up became a rebrand the moment the new website asked what A-Renting actually stood for. We did not torch what existed and we did not swap everything at once. Instead, from that point on, every new thing lands on brand: containers freshly added to the rotation carry the new identity, fresh print and signage go out in it, and the already-wrapped units live out their cycle. Piece by piece the fleet converges on one look, with no jarring overnight switch, no budget bonfire, and no identity gap while the brand grows up in public.

Design

Deep blue for cooling, pushed to a darker, modern shade so it reads current instead of corporate-cold. Archivo set in all caps for the headlines, chosen to echo the hard edges and the robustness of a shipping container. The system is built to look like something you can trust with a load that is not allowed to fail.

Follow-up

The marketing grew with the fleet.

The work did not stop at the rebrand. We stayed on for the ongoing marketing and the strategy calls about where the brand moves next: the campaigns, the socials, the email campaigns, the seasonal reels shot on site. Whatever pushes the business forward.

Year after year A-Renting grew, and the brand grew up with it. The fleet is up around 40 percent, and the mix has shifted away from one-off private hires toward long-standing, high-level recurring clients: Ahold, the city governments of Ghent and Oudenaarde, Tomorrowland, and contracts with national government institutions and retailers.

A lasting relationship

The studio A-Renting calls for whatever comes next.

Once the brand existed we stayed on as the team Dima calls when something needs to look right or simply work better. Not only design. Whatever moves the business forward.
