Football Insider Branding ⚽️ Football Insider is one of the most widely recognised names in modern football media, with millions of followers across social platforms and a reputation built on breaking transfer news. As the brand expanded into a wider network of 19 sister brands, the need for a unified and scalable identity system became essential. Using Football Insider as the master brand, I developed a central concept that brings “The Insider” to life. This led to a distinctive icon built from the letterforms ‘F’ and ‘I’, forming a figure standing over a football and pointing towards the brand name. This created a bold, ownable mark designed for instant recognition across digital platforms. Buzzing to finally be sharing this 😄

Oh Man, this is outstanding work. I just thinking how you implemented this masterpiece.

CHARGE — Brand Concept

Challenge

The focus gum category is crowded with products that rely on functional claims, lifestyle clichés, or overly clinical branding. CHARGE needed a visual identity that immediately communicated energy, confidence, and momentum while feeling premium enough to compete on modern digital shelves.

Idea

Energy. Focus. Go.

The concept treats focus as movement rather than concentration. Every graphic element—from bold typography and angular compositions to kinetic motion and athletic photography—reinforces the feeling of acceleration.

Rather than telling people they’ll feel energized, the brand is designed to make them feel energized the moment they encounter it.

Visual Language

A bold, high-contrast design system built around oversized typography, dynamic geometric forms, clean white space, and vibrant product colors creates an instantly recognizable identity. Bright lifestyle photography captures moments of determination, speed, and achievement, while the colorful packaging becomes a hero element across every touchpoint.

Motion System

The motion language is driven by momentum. Type slides with purpose, products snap into frame, athletes move through fast cinematic cuts, and macro product moments add tactile detail. Every transition is quick, precise, and intentional—mirroring the instant boost associated with the product.

Photography

Instead of generic fitness imagery, the photography celebrates peak performance across multiple sports and disciplines. Powerful portraits, dynamic action, and vibrant outdoor environments create a feeling of optimism and forward motion while reflecting a diverse community of high performers.

Outcome

The result is a contemporary consumer brand that feels energetic, premium, and highly scalable. The identity extends seamlessly across packaging, social media, motion graphics, advertising, digital experiences, and retail—creating a cohesive brand system that is memorable both on shelf and on screen.

Treating focus as movement instead of concentration is a sharp reframe, most gum brands default to clinical or minty-clean visuals instead. The kinetic macro shots are doing a lot of the heavy lifting here. Was that photography direction locked in from the start, or did it come...
