This design subtly references both the name and function of the company by taking inspiration from the tape reel cogs of an analog recording device. Using this visual device as a starting point, I crafted the letter A into an icon for the company. The logo also echoes the tape reel cogs by rotating clockwise in motion graphics executions.

The rapid growth had caused the brand to feel disconnected from its original values and unique personality, making it challenging to maintain a strong connection with its target audience.         Working with Brand New Creative, I brought their new brand world to life through motion.

Their absence has been felt by many, but none more so than those who rely on pubs for social interaction.         I collaborated with Stills & Motion to create a case study video for The Snug Project; a calendar and limited edition print sale created to highlight this rising social issue that ran from November 2020 to January 2021. All proceeds from sales were in aid of ALONE, a national organisation that strives to enable older people to age at home, safely and securely, for as long as they wish.        The project featured 12 images of empty Irish pubs snugs as captured by photographer Finn Richards.Studio: Stills & Motion Music: The Bonny Men Year: 2021 ︎     Case Study Video, Motion graphics(04) Your browser does not support the video tag.
