Specialising in proper cider, not the “commercial fizzy garbage”, Manx Cider Co. wanted their brand to reflect their ideology as well as giving a nod to the TT and classic motorcycle stylings they love. Originally, the company started with a top hatted skull logo, so developing that idea we carried the same vibe and attitude along to illustrate their range of other ciders that were produced in the following years.
‘Jimmie Kickstart’ was created in 2014 and arguably became the bony face of the MCC. It was available at the world famous Bushy’s Beer Tent on Douglas promenade during TT fortnight and proved popular so an annual t-shirt was produced featuring different versions of the design along with a custom back print between 2014 and 2018.
I designed custom MCC letters based on the original CarnivaleeFreakshow font and this was used on all products from 2017 onwards. The custom font gave the opportunity to provide more unique text based graphics for merchandise and socials/advertising.
