Gold Gorilla
Custom Darts Excellence: Gold Gorilla Darts
Custom darts craftsmanship stands at the heart of Gold Gorilla Darts, a bespoke dart point manufacturer founded by Noah Patrick. As a passionate custom darts enthusiast with a vision to revolutionise the darts accessory market, Noah Patrick recognised the growing popularity of custom darts among younger audiences particularly following the meteoric rise of young talent like Luke Littler. He sought to capitalise on this momentum with a brand that would resonate with this emerging demographic while establishing a distinctive presence in the custom darts marketplace.
The Challenge:
Noah approached our agency with a clear objective: to create a compelling brand identity for his custom darts business that would make Gold Gorilla Darts stand out in an increasingly competitive marketplace. He needed a brand that would appeal to a younger, social media-savvy audience while looking professional when featured as sponsorship on darts shirts.
The identity needed to reflect the premium quality and strength of his bespoke custom darts while supporting his modern marketing approach utilising TikTok and limited-edition “drops.” The fundamental challenge was to develop a visual identity that balanced strength and approachability while positioning Gold Gorilla Darts as a contemporary custom darts brand that could attract the next generation of darts players without alienating traditional enthusiasts.
Our Approach:
Research & Discovery
We began with a comprehensive analysis of the custom darts market to inform our approach. Our research delved into current trends in custom darts equipment and accessories, with special focus on the emerging younger demographic of custom darts enthusiasts. We examined competitor branding and positioning within the custom darts industry, as well as social media presence and engagement strategies within the wider darts community to identify opportunities for differentiation.
Brand Strategy Development
Working closely with Noah, we established the core brand values and positioning for Gold Gorilla Darts in the custom darts marketplace. We focused on emphasising premium quality craftsmanship that defines exceptional custom darts. The strategy incorporated a modern approach to tradition, highlighting bold performance that custom darts enthusiasts demand. We ensured community engagement remained central to the brand ethos, while positioning the exclusive, limited-edition offerings as coveted items for serious custom darts collectors and players.
Visual Identity Creation
The centrepiece of the brand identity became a distinctive gorilla face wearing a crown symbolising both the strength and premium status associated with high-quality custom darts. Our design decisions focused on balancing the strength of the gorilla imagery with approachable design elements to appeal across demographics. We purposefully avoided overly aggressive styling that might alienate certain segments of the custom darts market. The identity incorporated gold elements to reinforce the premium positioning of these custom darts, creating a versatile logo system that would work across digital platforms, merchandise, and sponsorship applications. The resulting colour palette was developed to ensure Gold Gorilla’s custom darts would stand out in the predominantly dark environment of darts venues.
