X Games Austin
Re-branding project
Out with the old.
For their last year in Austin, TX, the X Games wanted to show the world that 2018 would be the best year yet. While their logo and system was working quite well, it wasn't the most exciting. It didn't truly reflect how unique Austin is and advertising for the event was almost non-existent.
In with the new.
To help reflect the creative side of Austin, everything was re-branded with a screen printing vibe. The colors were altered from traditional Texas colors to help appeal to the growing audience of women attending and replicate the offset printed look.
Posters
The posters that would be posted around Austin are not the typical rectangle, but instead a parallelogram shape.
X Games Merchandise
There will be an array of merchandise offered online and in-person at the X Games. This includes tickets, unisex t-shirts in multiple designs and colors, hats, board decks, and stickers.
Guerrilla Advertising
shredding LANES
Skateboard lanes will be painted everywhere except on roads.
RAINING BIKES
Bikes will be attached to exterior walls around Austin allowing for photo ops.
Rocking billBOARDS
Billboard ads will extend beyond the board attracting attention.
X Games Website
The website was designed to help event goers navigate the Games. Simplicity was kept at the forefront during the design process, only focusing on what people would want to know right off the back.
