Branding & Design - The Popty Ping Recording Company.
Branding, packaging and concept design for vinyl-only record label The Popty-Ping Recording Company. The label focuses on releasing limited-run singles by up-and-coming Welsh bands, such as Shy and The Fight, Mowbird, Trecco Beis and Gintis. Every release carries the same design, but a different colour, and the plan is, after ten releases, to release a compilation where all proceeds go to charity.
The design concept is based around microwaveable food - "Popty-Ping" is a colloqiual Welsh term for "microwave" (however the correct term is "meicrodon"!). The visual style is influenced by Margaret Calvert, Jock Kinneir, and the Design Research Unit's British Rail identity.
