01. Client

Summer Meltdown is a multi-day music and camping festival that takes place every August in Darrington, WA. On its 14-year run, the festival is internationally acclaimed for its stunning location, diverse music lineup, and plethora of exciting outdoor activities.

02. Challenge

Lacking in a brand presence and logo for the 2018 edition of the event, Summer Meltdown Festival desired new illustrations for event posters and other key marketing assets. Most importantly, the festival needed a new website to match their new brand identity.

03. Solution

Lion’s Share created a fresh logo and matching custom illustrations to design multiple marketing assets: venue and camping map, sponsor deck, full credentials, handbills, online banner ads, and social media graphics. Additionally, Lion’s Share developed a custom website and managed hosting and DNS to ensure site performance.
