_London Feis

London Feis takes place in the London’s Finsbury Park on Saturday 18th and 19th June 2011. The festival celebrates 21 years of the best Irish and International music, continuing the legacy of  the previous 14 Fleadh festivals at Finsbury Park, which was a staple on the London music calendar from 1990 until 2004. Continuing on from where the Fleadh left off, London Feis steps in with a fresh outlook: Irish in flavour, international in reach.

To reflect this new offering, we were tasked with developing a new identity that captures the essence of Feis (which means large cultural festival in Gaelic). Working with illustrator Hana Tesarova, we created the logo from hand drawn custom letterforms, incorporating an iconic harp. Supporting imagery fuses celtic iconography with jack plugs and stage cables. We’re now working on the official London Feis website and other various promotional elements

London Feis debuts in June with Bob Dylan and Van Morrison just announced as headliners.

_NME Awards 2011

NME has appointed Lethal to design and art direct the core identity and supporting campaign for the Shockwaves NME Awards 2011.

Taking place at O2 Academy Brixton on 23rd February, the brief was to move away from the stereotypical rock n’ roll look attributed to the NME, and to create a look and feel more in line with the new look magazine. Based on graphic equalizers, we opted for a simple modular design that better rep-resented the broad range of music championed by today’s NME and thus could be adapted to incorporate the Awards, Shows,Tour and Big Gig elements that make up the full campaign.

Out full creative guidelines have now been rolled out to Reality (Set design and event production), Hello Charlie (Audio visual production) and Remedy (TV production) and NME’s inhouse creative department to extend the brand across all platforms.

_Alleycat Bar & Club

The recently opened Alleycat bar at 4 Denmark Street, London recently approached us to rename, create and roll out their new identity. Located in the basement of the old Regent Sound Studios (where The Rolling Stones recorded their debut album), we opted for a strong typographic approach that paid homage to its location on Tin Pan Alley and rich musical history.

_Amazing PR

Amazing PR produce creative and innovative press campaigns for festivals, media outlets and fashion brands. They commissioned Lethal to create a highly visual and non-nonsense website to showcase their impressive credentials. Based on a comic book style, a homepage slideshow of full-screen keywords greets site visitors on arrival, followed by stripped down bullet-pointed content throughout the site.

_A Girl Called ’030′

Working in conjunction with Cannonball PR and Stray Cat Records, we hatched a launch strategy for Danish surf rock band The Good The Bad’s latest single and video release.

Simply named ’030, the release was centred around the groundbreaking video directed by Jeppe Kolstrup. We decided on launching a teaser campaign via an unbranded standalone website (www.agirlcalled030.com) which built a groundswell of interest ahead of the full video release. Within one month of the full video going live, ’030′ took the blogosphere by storm, gaining over 1 million views and widespread worldwide coverage including tweets by Dave Navarro and Tommy Lee:

_Nokia World

Working with word-of-mouth agency 1000 Heads, we developed an ‘on the ground’ pack for attendees at the Nokia World conference at London’s Excel Centre including a t-shirt, VIP pass, tote bag and info pack. We also created a virtual attendee alternative for key bloggers, aimed at helping Nokia afficonados, fans and journalists worldwide to feel part of the action and the key announcements of the weekend. 3D glasses were also included in the Virtual Attendee pack for exclusive 3D broadcasts. Here’s some feedback from the Virtual Attendees:

_British Music at SXSW 2010

SXSW is the largest music festival in the world, with more than 2,000 performers playing in over 90 venues around downtown Austin over four days every March.

Established in 1987, it established 700 registrants in its first year. In 2010, there were over 12000 domestic and international registrants. Approaching its 25th anniversary year, SXSW is now firmly considered the ultimate go-to event on the global music industry calendar.

The British Music trade partners ((AIM, BPI, PPL, PRS & UKTI) have long recognised the significance of SXSW and its potential to provide a unique springboard for ready-to-export British artists. Amy Winehouse, Arctic Monkeys and Bloc Party all launched their assaults on the US market from Austin – and never looked back.

But with increasing numbers of artists from Australia to Colombia to Japan to Sweden all clamouring to get noticed, British Music has to work harder every year to avoid the clutter.

Lethal have been appointed to help do just that since 2003.
