Popin 2024 - All Wrapped Up!
posted 10th December 2024
As we wave goodbye to 2024, we're reflecting on a year of growth, transformation, and exciting achievements at Popin. From expanding our team developing our identity and completing incredible projects, this year has been eventful. Sit back, get comfy and let's dive into the highlights!
A Fresh New Look For A New Year
Notice anything different with the Popin logo lately? We're proud to announce a logo refresh, which you'll begin to see rolled out across our projects, vehicles, and materials. This updated look represents the modern, innovative edge we bring to every job, while staying true to the creativity and quality our clients know and love.
Popin last rebranded back in 2019 when we relocated to our current HQ introducing the gradiented teal and cyan and losing the grey. For 2025, the logo has been re-approached, adjusting some of the general balance and structure of the logo to create an improved balance and presence!
Use the slider below to compare the 2019 Logo against the new 2025 Logo and see how many differences you can spot.
All brands revisit their identity from time to time and even small updates can be useful in keeping an identity looking modern and relevant. With the recent Jaguar rebrand being one of the most prominent in recent times for a mixture of good and bad reasons, updates for Nissan and VW show innovative approaches to modernising classic brands to keep up with the ever changing market climate.
Welcoming New Faces To The Popin Family
This year, we've been thrilled to welcome a host of new talent across all departments. Over the years following our move to Penarth Road, we quickly identified the need for restructure and refocus as we organically grew into our new workspace.
With a new focus on specialised roles for individual areas of the business such as Operations, Sales and Training coupled with natural growth, we quickly found a requirement for a host of new positions. These aimed to expand the Project Management team, Production team and Installation team alike! With these new additions come fresh perspectives contribution to increased workflow efficiency, allowing us to expand our capabilities and refine our processes even further.
2024 Projects: A Year of Creativity and Growth
This year, we worked on a range of exciting projects that highlight Popin Graphics' skill, scale, and innovation. From branding Braces' iconic fleet to represent the loafs themselves to seamlessly delivering 13 vehicles for Cardiff University, helping them drive towards a fully electric fleet, our team demonstrated the ability to handle large-scale projects with precision and speed.
In collaboration with Cardiff Bus and CCFC, our state-of-the-art workshop enabled quick turnarounds on projects like the CCFC 125th anniversary bus. Our full-scale premises allowed us to facilitate this vehicle with ease. Whilst on the subject of coaches, we also completed multiple coaches for Ferris Coaches, proving we're equipped for vehicles of any size, regardless of the weather. We also tackled more unique designs, such as completing the first company vehicle for Drone Clean. A company specialised in utilising drones for drone specialist cleaning and, we also carried over their branding onto their highly advanced drone. Popin also completed a flawless colour change on a Lamborghini Urus—both showcasing the craftsmanship of our design and fitting teams.
Exploring new horizons, we've expanded our services to better meet our customers' needs. This year, we collaborated with companies like Phoenix Hire and Sales and Inspire Green to design graphics for unique applications, including plant machinery and EV chargers.
With 2024 featuring a host of new additions to the Popin Client family, it really sets the stage for an eventful 2025 in which we hope to see many more exciting projects and inspiring designs.
