Bottling Lightning
Jube came to Loa with a huge amount of energy and chaotic enthusiasm. Working through the branding process, Loa channelled this energy to define an identity. An imagined world came together around Jube’s fictional founder, Jim Junkee, the true ‘rebel with a cause’. The ‘House of Jube’ was brought to life through an entourage of characters and ‘co-workers’ who complement Jim’s uniquely Australian voice. Head mechanic Crank the Turtle, his nemesis the Grease Monkey Djinn, Lil’ Jim and Bonesy come to life through packaging, posters and apparel as well as bike graphics. Oversized tyres, ‘chubby rubber’ form a signature element of Jube’s products. To highlight these and extend the brand’s world, Loa created the fictional Grand Chorizo Tyre Company. Manufacturers of Slick Mick, Bitumen Banger and Wide Wiener tyres, it supplies exclusively to Jube.
