Every day is game day. 

The Abu Dhabi Sports Hub is a world-class sporting oasis. Originally constructed as a home for international cricket in 2004, recent investment has seen the introduction of state-of-the-art facilities for over 35 sports spanning 25,000 square metres. But their ambition doesn’t stop at attracting major international sports training and events: it must also support the Abu Dhabi 2030 vision of fostering a healthy, inclusive and active community. 

We needed to create a new identity and design system for the newly renamed Sports Hub, to broaden its appeal and reposition it as the go-to venue for local communities and international sports professionals alike.

The new identity celebrates the stadium’s iconic shape and cements it as the centre of the hub. New assets echo the movement, expression and breadth of sports now offered. With a vast physical space and countless materials, a flexible but consistent roll-out was essential, as well as clear way-finding throughout the venue to ensure a seamless experience at all points of interaction.

The hub welcomed over 700,000 community athletes in 2023 and continues to host professional teams from across the globe.

All the way to the Peaks.

With a background in prestigious international sports, our client wanted to work alongside his local community. His idea was a social club for runners, cyclists and adventurers in the heart of the awe-inspiring Peak District, famous for its varied and challenging terrain. A meeting place for expeditions, excursions and training camps, offering welcome respite in the form of cake, coffee and collaboration.

We needed to create a brand from scratch that signalled the club as a welcoming and inspiring destination. Enticing people to try new adventures no matter what their ability; from high performance athletes to those looking for a gentler approach, but all like-minded in their pursuit of a challenge.

SUMMAT was created from the idea of pushing further towards your goal, with a visual nod to the peaks and a subtle wink to the Northern take on getting out and ‘doing summat’. The identity is brought to life across team kits and wider collateral to unite the community, its graphic simplicity standing out as a beacon for progress.  

Since opening its doors in April 2023 SUMMAT has welcomed an array of Olympic athletes, amateur triathletes and gentle joggers from near and far. 

This is just the start of the adventure…
