Sports Charity Podium and Promotional Banners

Background

Our sports charity client, Dwarf Sports Association UK, provide sporting and social events throughout the UK for individuals with dwarfism. They empower positive life changes and inspire confidence for those with dwarfism. Some members go on to become paralympians.

The charity hadn’t managed to update their roller banners for over a decade. Their existing banners were looking a bit dated, featured black and white photography, confused messaging and didn’t tie into the wider branding of the charity. This was limiting their impact at promoting the charity benefits both at their own events and at third party events, such as disability conferences.

Result

Mode=Create worked to create a set of banners that would work hard to fulfil many tasks, all whilst still retaining high impact and clarity.

We proposed a set that could be used behind podiums and photographic backdrops, and a second set that summarised key benefits to be used at conferences and external events. All banners would also be able to be used on their own or in any combination and still make sense.

Mode=Create proposed a set of enhancements to push the boundaries of the brand and help provide a feel of dynamism and professionalism.

We developed initial concepts and mockups, design iterations, messaging, image editing, final artwork preparation and even secured a not for profit discount at our print supplier.

The new banners were presented in time for the 2026 National Dwarf Games and were immediately well received by all attending. The charity has also had great feedback when attending third party events and conferences.
