North Shields
This project was for The Hangout, a live music venue in North Shields, just minutes from Newcastle.
The North of England has a strong musical heritage, with a local scene that has long been a breeding ground for both emerging talent and established acts. The venue quickly became a platform for both.
The brief was flexible and open, but with both owners having a strong interest in showcasing loud, gritty rock music, the visual concept was quickly set on a lightning bolt design.
The mural was painted in two days, in time for the venue’s opening, and the design received a positive public response, which led to it being adopted as the venue’s logo, and featured on both printed and online promotional materials.
