Creative industries can be a solid growth engine for the economy, as a company with over 15 years experience in music management and 250 events produced annually demonstrates. Sublime needed a brand identity that could represent the company as it evolved into an industry benchmark, representing top artists and bands.

After conducting a thorough competitive analysis and an internal analysis, we identified two antithetical forces defining Sublime: passion, rebellious punk spirits, versus knowledge, experience and business acumen. Both forces have been integrated into the brand personality and reflected in the visual identity.

The recommended strategic direction found its unique expression in the brand idea and the brand tagline, “Making Waves”, which was instilled in all verbal and graphic expressions. The logo design uses the wave symbol and the first letter of the brand name: Sublime is behind the wave, provoking the event, the concert, the campaign and the energy that spreads. Empathy and emotion add to the sum of different components, as individual efforts make waves and create the Sublime effect
