The Hatchling

Identity

The Hatchling is a spectacular, free live event, taking place in Plymouth in August 2020. Produced by the award-winning creative team at Trigger in collaboration with leading designers, the project combines age-old myth with innovative puppetry and cutting edge technology.

I was asked to create an identity that would convey The Hatchling moving through the city streets.

Rebeltech

Rebrand

Rebeltech are a PR company that focuses on helping B2B tech startups to grow. They pride themselves on being gutsy, disruptive storytellers.

While working at Polleni, I was asked to help on the rebrand. To convey the brands personality I developed a bold and brash colour palette, stretched phonetic typography and monochrome imagery.

Testimonials

Working with Ben has been a really positive experience which resulted in a great outcome for our business. We required a brand identity for a new vegan deli & cafe that we were launching and wanted a bold contemporary logo that projected a strong personality. Ben was very quick to understand our ideas and quickly came back with suggestions that were far more innovative and interesting than the other opinions that we sought. We are really pleased with the brand and have received a lot of positive feedback from others.
