The visual identity draws inspiration from the vibrant stripes of Brighton & Hove Albion's iconic jersey, translating the club's energy into a lively and inviting atmosphere. The graphic system expanded across every touchpoint, from signage design to tabletop game graphics to complimentary path cards with American Express branded sleeves, creating a cohesive experience that fans could see, touch, and take home.
Event Space
The Oculus Center was transformed into an exclusive fan experience featuring a customized drink menu, interactive table activities, mini Foot Pool, and a VR experience. Every element was designed to bring fans closer to the team, creating an energetic summer celebration where supporters could play, compete, and share in the spirit of the game.
