Let it Rain!

Brand Concept

Let it Rain!

A brand developed for a local sports club in Gothenburg. To showcase our level of dedication for purpose-driven brands.

We named our project after one of the most iconic one-liners ever delivered on screen by the late, great Philip Seymour Hoffman: 'Let it Rain!' The name has the perfect ring to it and evokes a sense of passion, excitement, and a willingness to go all out.

Here's a sneak peek of what we've envisioned.

"Join us on our exciting journey and help us make it rain in Gothenburg!"

01 CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

The Brand Concept

Before the sky was filled with commercial airplanes and long after the first Swedes came to America. This story draws inspiration from the legacy of Swedish ingenuity.

More specifically, in 1928, when the infamous shipping company from Gothenburg launched its cruise ship, the MS Kungsholm, and embarked on its maiden voyage from Gothenburg to New York. This was the same year that the NFL was reduced to 10 teams and the telephone line between Sweden and the USA was officially opened.

"A brand dedicated to the 3.3 million Swedish descendants who still live in the United States."

"Stories that can bring people on both sides of 'the pond' closer to Football in Sweden."

01 The brand Story

The Prologue

In search of a new world, some came to escape their past, while others came to follow their dreams. They faced many hardships and setbacks, but together, with the memory of those they left behind, they were able to overcome almost anything.

01 The brand

Key Visual Elements

GLN

The abbreviation perfectly captures the essence of Gothenburg, especially since the soccer team, IFK Gothenburg had 4 players named Glen. Although this was in the 80s, the name is still associated with the city.

Umbrella

In 2019, the city decided to brand itself as "The best city when it rains". Since it rains every other day in Gothenburg, according to SMHI. Imagine a sea of yellow umbrellas and Sydväst's on the stands!

Anchor

The anchor adds value to Gothenburg's brand as a symbol of steadfastness and hope, inspired by the city's local history of emigration to the USA during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
