This project involved the conceptualisation and design of a full brand identity for a traditional chimney sweeping business. The goal was to preserve the craft’s rich heritage while creating a modern, fun and memorable brand that resonates with both older generations who value tradition and younger homeowners who seek stylish, contemporary design.
The creative direction centred around reviving historical chimney sweeping imagery and reinterpreting it through playful illustration, retro typography, and a bold colour palette. By blending nostalgia and modernity, the brand establishes a unique identity that celebrates its roots while appealing to a wider, modern audience
