Festive Bytes is an online event branding I created for a series of Christmas events held during the Covid lockdowns at Byte (now Dept).
The online events were meant to lift people’s spirits during a difficult time and needed to reflect the 4 core themes - Wellbeing, Learning, Having Fun and Doing Good.
I wanted to create colourful charismatic characters that would represent the spirit of the festival. Having first started in documents, email headers and signatures, the characters later spread to Slack and I was delighted to see people use the Slack emojis unprompted. That’s how the Festive Bytes were born.
