When approached by an Australian sport inspired gifts and accessories business to join this project, my excitement was immediate. Being a passionate sports enthusiast, it seemed like the perfect creative venture for me. Understanding the commercial landscape well, I noticed a prevalent trend of uninspiring brand presence among many brands and retailers, coupled with mediocre and generic products. Thus, I believed our strategy should focus on building a captivating brand narrative and aligning it with a high-quality product range.

Brand Identity

As part of our creative strategy, my goal was to develop a brand identity that succinctly conveyed the superior quality of our production and products, as well as their unique connection to their respective sports. I aimed to emphasize how our choice of materials harmonized with the distinctive colors, textures, and iconic imagery synonymous with each sport. Additionally, I sought to highlight the brand's traditional essence, distinguishing it from the repetitive brands already established in this domain.
