This week sees the launch of the ‘Swim for free’ campaign, a joint initiative between Manchester City Council and Manchester Sports and Leisure Trust (MSLT).

Anybody under the age of 16 or over 60 is eligible to swim for free at any of Manchester’s eleven swimming pools.

Pixel8 created graphic designs for leaflets and exhibition banner stands for each location and added additional pages on the MSLT website, with accompanying online resources for swimmers to download and register. The Manchester Sports and Leisure Trust website design was developed by Pixel8 in 2008.

Pop in to any of Manchester’s swimming pools to see the campaign designed by Pixel8, or to register for free swimming in Manchester!

With help from the Pixel8 clothing print design team, staff at the Northcity Family & Fitness Centre and Sportcity venues will be stepping out in style this week.

Pixel8 have kitted out two of Manchester Sport and Leisure Trust leisure centres with striking new staff uniforms, including pool attendant t-shirts, shorts, polo shirts, track suits, outdoor clothing, coats and body warmers.

Having already developed the Manchester Sport and Leisure trust logo design, branding, and brand guide, Pixel8 have taken the logo and applied it both in print and embroidery to the clothing. The uniforms were first visualised with the branding, providing officials with a solid basis on which to make their decisions on style and design. Samples were then sourced and help provided with the uniform quota, before the whole order being turned around in little more than 2 weeks.
