Piccolina Gelateria ︎︎︎

Branding, Art Direction

2024

« In collaboration with Banalarama, POP were asked to brand Piccolina Gelateria's annual gelato project, '8 Chefs in 8 Weeks.' Drawing inspiration from the campaign's voyeuristic theme, POP crafted a unique graphic direction that allowed customers to peek into the tangible keepsakes the subjects might have in their pockets after savouring a gelato, such as a receipt. This visual concept became the heart of the campaign, weaving a narrative throughout its entirety.

Melbourne Music Week ︎︎︎

Festival Branding

2021

« Play On Play (POP) was commissioned to create a fresh, reinvigorated visual identity for Melbourne Music Week 2021. The central theme was "emerging" - a celebration of Melbourne's vibrant music scene re-emerging after the extended COVID-19 lockdowns.

The key motif features a bold oval shape encircling the date, representing the long-awaited re-opening of the city post-lockdown. The text dynamically bursts forth from a grey, unknown space into a bright, colourful future. This metaphorical emergence captures the excitement and optimism of the city's music community finally able to reconnect and thrive again.

The visual identity playfully combines energetic typography with a vibrant colour palette, reflecting the uplifting spirit of the event. The simple yet impactful oval motif acts as a unifying emblem across all branding applications—from the central lockup to animated digital content and printed collateral.

Calendar Girls︎︎︎

Branding and Film Posters

2018

« Calendar Girls" was an ambitious 12-part film series, with each installment exploring one of the 12 zodiac signs. Our studio was tasked with creating a cohesive visual identity that would tie together the diverse aesthetics of the individual films, each directed by a different filmmaker and starring a real-life muse embodying their respective zodiac sign. Through a highly collaborative process, we designed a series of captivating title sequences and poster designs that captured the essence of each astrological sign while maintaining a unified look and feel across the entire collection.To achieve this cohesion, we employed the unique Risograph printing technique, which lent a distinctive and consistent visual texture to all 12 posters. The Risograph's vibrant yet slightly imperfect ink layering added depth and character, perfectly complementing the celestial themes and artistic visions behind each film.
