We work with product-led businesses, founders, and teams who see branding as a long-term investment rather than a launch exercise. Our focus is on clarity, consistency, and systems that scale, from brand foundations and visual identities to packaging, print, and applied brand environments. We design brand systems that are built to endure, adapt, and evolve over time, reducing the need for constant redesign while maintaining relevance and quality across touchpoints. Revel Up Media is not positioned for fast, disposable branding. We partner with businesses that value considered decision-making, strong visual language, and longevity, and who are prepared to build their brands with intent.

A serioooouuuusly broad colour palette, A LOT of dense information, tables, frameworks and some pretty rough visual concepts that needed to become polished, easy-to-understand graphics.

The original scope alone called for everything from tables and typography to illustrations, organograms and complex visual redraws. ๐Ÿ˜…

Some concepts started as sketches.

Some started as walls of information.

Our job was to make all of it make sense visually, without stripping away the personality.

This unreleased, concept packaging direction was created for a client presentation around a Chef Mbombi collaboration with ๐—™๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜๐—ถโ€™๐˜€ & ๐— ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ถโ€™๐˜€, part of the Tiger Brands portfolio.

The brief was to work within an established brand system and create a new range of dry pasta sauce sachets that still felt familiar, practical and shelf-ready.

Not every concept makes it into production, but that doesnโ€™t make the thinking or strategy behind it any less valuable. We still like sharing some of the projects we genuinely enjoyed creating, even when they never made it past presentation stage.

Food brands remain some of our ๐—ณ๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฒ projects to work on.

Thereโ€™s something very satisfying about designing something that could eventually end up in someoneโ€™s kitchen, or become the packaging we randomly walk past on a shelf one day.

Always such a proud moment when we see something and think โ€œYep, we made thatโ€, even if no one else in the room knows. ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿ˜…

We build considered brand identities and packaging systems for food, beverage and hospitality businesses thinking beyond the launch.

A disco-lit bar with orange details. A Tokyo-arcade mood. Bowling lanes that feel a little sci-fi. The space already had a strong pulse, so the menus needed to belong there without becoming visual chaos.

That became the working idea.

Each cover was built around a different part of the venue. Meals links back to the bowling area. Drinks pulls from the bar. Bites carries more of the arcade energy.

The disco-tile elements became the thread running through the set, worked into the food, drinks, and motion details so the chaos felt intentional, not random.

Loud on the outside. Clear on the inside. A playful menu system for a venue that is modern, social, family-friendly, and not exactly quiet.

Definitely a bit different for us, but a fun one to figure out.

Itโ€™s loud, a little weird, and somehow it works.
We quite like how these turned out.

Before revealing Violet Farmsโ€™ final brand identity, weโ€™re sharing one of the early directions explored in Phase One.

The brief was rooted in market-stall culture, preservative-free food, and a brand created with longevity in mind, something meaningful, honest, and built for the next generation.

Think a small variety of specialty products, not found on every shelf in large retail stores, but carefully curated and discovered in gem locations, such as craft markets, w**e tastings, and artisanal stores.

Where discovery feels special. ๐Ÿ’œ

This concept leaned into hand-drawn floral assets, expressive heritage-led typography, and a structured logo system designed to feel crafted rather than manufactured.

The colour palette balanced soft violets with warm yellows, echoing natural ingredients, freshness, and warmth without losing clarity or strength.

The final identity will be shared soon.
This is part of the thinking that shaped it.
