Manchester United Official 2011Signature Range Calendar Design

For 2011 we were asked to design not one, but 2 celendar designs for Manchester United. On top of the regular design we also designed the signature range.

The design for the signature range was aimed towards the more decerning Manchester United fan incorporating spectacular photography cut outs of the players.

Out with the old and in with the new, as the 2009/10 season kicks off. And there are some changes to the Manchester United team line up. Ronaldo leaves for Real Madrid, whilst the Reds welcome Michael Owen and Antonio Valencia to Old Trafford.

A new style for the calendar too. The inner pages had to reflect the new kit, so we introduced dynamic angles in to the design.

Manchester United Official 2009 Calendar Design for print

So, a third successive season for Manchester United, and a third successful year for our graphic design team, as we once again produced the official Manchester United Calendar range!

Manchester United updated their brand guide as a direct result of winning the Champions League. The main change was that the overall look had to predominantly feature the Manchester United red, to reflect their dominance of Europe.

Manchester United continued their winning ways for the 2007/08 season, taking not only the Premier League title for a second successive season, but also winning the Champions League!

As with previous years, we sourced all imagery, which also involved retouching, and creating a design that would stand out from the rest, using fonts and colours included in Manchester United's brand guide.

Manchester United Official 2007 Calendar Design for print

For the Manchester United 2007 Calendar range, we created the concept of 'Most Wanted', which used design elements relating to the Wild West, such as a sheriff badge icon, a 'wanted' price tag, and Wild West style typefaces.

The Reds certainly became the 'Most Wanted' players that season by winning the 2006/07 Barclays Premier League title.

Each squad member had 6 pages dedicated to them, which included a biography, career history and vital stats. This was printed full colour and then ring-bound.

Online Brandguide with CMS

Manchester United Brand Guide

Traditionally, Manchester United had to send a paper based brand guide to partners and agencies worldwide. Pixel8 designed and developed an online brand guide. This enables partners to access information relevant to their requirements for the brand, anywhere, worldwide. Internally, content can be updated using an intuitive content management system, resulting in the guide always being relevant and up to date.

Graphic Design for Mailers

Manchester United Soccer Schools Mailer

We presented the initial concepts for a direct mail campaign for the Manchester United Soccer Schools 2008.

The ‘Handle With Care’ concept is all about nurturing the youngster and finding the next generation of 'shooting star' talent. Our design aim was to take it back to the streets, where some of the Manchester United greats were discovered.
This design was just the ticket for them.

Within the corporate area, Pixel8 were invited to design a promotional DVD promoting upcoming events.
