🚀 This case study is a reason why I enjoy redesign and rebranding projects. The most interesting challenges are rarely the ones where you can change everything. They’re the ones where clear boundaries already exist, where you need to understand what should be preserved, what can be improved, and most importantly, why a change is necessary in the first place. I’ve never been a fan of redesigning something simply for the sake of making it look different. Meaningful design should solve problems, strengthen what already works, and create additional value. The goal is not change itself, but improvement. This case study comes from a personal place. As a Bolton Wanderers supporter, the club that introduced me to the magic of English football and the Premier League, I wanted to explore how its visual identity could evolve ahead of its 150th anniversary next year. Rather than pursuing a dramatic transformation, I focused on thoughtful refinement. Modern rebranding trends often push organizations toward radical change, but when a club has carried a recognizable identity for nearly 150 years, a complete departure from its heritage doesn’t always make sense. The challenge was to find opportunities for evolution while respecting the history, character, and recognition that generations of supporters associate with the club. This case study is my proposal for how Bolton Wanderers could build upon its existing identity through a series of purposeful and carefully considered updates.
