Wash Your Words

Wash Your Words is a welcoming community hub in Blackpool that blends the everyday functionality of a laundrette with the possibility of a library and social space.

The concept emerged directly from community-led workshops, where participants envisioned a place where people could connect, share resources, and feel at home. Together, we explored names, playful puns, and visual motifs until the idea of “washing your words” resonated: a brand that celebrates both practical needs and creative expression.

The final logo reflects the blend of laundry and literacy through clean, simple visuals inspired by the workshop sketches. Lines evoke washing lines and book spines, while playful icons highlight the space’s welcoming, multi-purpose nature.

More than just a visual identity, Wash Your Words demonstrates the power of designing with, not for, the community. Every element—from name to colour palette—carries the imprint of those who will use and love the space.
