2010 Swansea Bay Summer Festival identity

Back in November Black Sheep announced its pitch win, for the marketing collateral of the 2010 Swansea Bay Summer Festival. Which encompasses the refresh of the festival’s identity, a 40 page events brochure, 14 page activity book, press advertising, street banners, posters & billboards throughout the city. After further development of our initial identity proposal, we can finally reveal the updated brand identity for this years festival.

‘It’s an evolutionary identity that replaces the existing windmill logo, to communicate a fresh sense of summer, through its ice cream colour palette and seaside vector based illustrative style’.
Neil Asher, Creative Director. Black Sheep

Hurrah! Summer has arrived at the pen.

Creatively that is. Gemma, our latest intern at Black Sheep, who recently graduated from UWIC’s BA (Hons) Graphic Communication course, has won her first creative pitch for Black Sheep. We thought that her coffee & tea making skills were good, but she’s surpassed all expectations so far.

In at the deep end and on her first day at the pen, we gave her the tender for a suite of marketing collateral for the 2010 Swansea Bay Summer Festival. The project encompasses the refresh of the festival’s identity, a 40 page events brochure, 14 page activity book, press advertising, street banners, posters & billboards throughout the city.

Look out for an update in the coming weeks. in the meantime you can check out the Festival’s existing site for more information.

Well done Gemma!

Spread the love

A little praise goes a long way, especially when most clients aren’t usually forthcoming with it. After 15 years in the industry I still get a buzz from this kind of feedback, it’s a great morale boost for the whole studio. So thanks Jon, it really made our day.

I took delivery yesterday of the Breathe Swansea, brochures and have to say that the brochure is one of the nicest jobs, both in terms of design and print that we’ve ever produced, it looks absolutely great. I’ll send some samples in the post.

As it’s fully in compliance with Welsh Language best practice guidelines I think it would be worth entering into the Language Board’s bilingual design awards.

Thanks again, Jon
