Our brief and challenge was to brand the Marathon Village while keeping in mind the 2018 Marathon’s theme of “We fill the heart of Beirut”. This resulted in a dynamic and energetic visual language supported by the tagline of “Where fun meets sports” to appeal to the masses not just the die-hard athletes. A visual language that is endorsed by the signature element of the marathon campaign: the heart, which worked flexibly across many design touchpoints to meet the event’s needs.
