Home News & Insights TORIQ Electric and 5sum unveil new brand identity for the EV generation
Power redesigned — where motion meets meaning.
TORIQ Electric, a rising innovator in sustainable mobility, has unveiled a bold new brand identity created in partnership with 5sum. The transformation marks more than a visual change — it’s a statement about how electric mobility is shifting from engineering to emotion, from performance to purpose. Together, TORIQ and 5sum built a brand that reflects not only technological progress but the human energy driving it forward.
A new code for the electric age
The collaboration began with a question: What does electricity feel like in human terms?
For TORIQ, it wasn’t about volts or range — it was about experience. Power that moves not just vehicles, but people. 5sum translated this philosophy into a brand language built on kinetic intelligence — sleek, confident, and emotionally charged.
Every aspect of the new identity — from logo geometry to sound design — expresses controlled energy. The brand feels alive yet deliberate, carrying the rhythm of acceleration and the stillness of silence. It mirrors the dual nature of electric motion: powerful yet clean, fast yet calm.
Visualizing performance with purpose
The new TORIQ symbol draws inspiration from flow lines, torque curves, and the organic symmetry of motion. It’s not an emblem, but an energy signature — one that can flex across vehicle branding, digital interfaces, and motion graphics. The logotype’s precision-cut angles and dynamic spacing embody forward motion, while its refined minimalism signals engineering excellence.
5sum designed a color system rooted in contrast — deep graphite and electric blue paired with subtle white light. These tones evoke both the material world of metal and circuitry and the ephemeral world of light and speed.
Photography and motion direction capture human proximity to power: people illuminated by the glow of charging stations, soft reflections on metallic surfaces, energy translated through expression rather than machinery.
Design as infrastructure
More than an aesthetic exercise, 5sum and TORIQ treated the rebrand as a strategic framework for expansion. As the company evolves into new markets — from personal vehicles to smart charging ecosystems — the identity was designed to scale seamlessly across physical, digital, and environmental spaces.
Custom UI systems, iconography, and environmental wayfinding were built under one design language, ensuring every touchpoint — from an app interface to a charging hub — feels consistently TORIQ.
“The future of EV design isn’t about how cars look, but how the brand behaves,” says 5sum’s design lead.
“TORIQ is about intelligent energy — precise, adaptive, and profoundly human.”
Emotion, electrified
At its core, the new brand positions TORIQ as more than an automotive company — as a movement brand for the electric generation. Its visual and verbal identity speak to curiosity, optimism, and purpose-driven innovation.
Every element, from motion graphics to tone of voice, reflects an evolving cultural truth: that technology becomes meaningful only when it feels human. TORIQ’s new expression captures that shift — where electricity becomes empathy, and innovation becomes identity.
The power ahead
The rebrand sets a foundation for TORIQ’s next phase — expanding into global markets with an identity built to inspire both drivers and dreamers. 5sum’s strategic and creative direction ensures TORIQ stands at the intersection of design, mobility, and emotion — representing a future where sustainability feels as powerful as performance.
The partnership demonstrates how design thinking can drive not just recognition, but relevance — shaping the emotional infrastructure of an electrified world.
