NOVA MAS / BERMUDA / 2026 & A DECADE OF BRAND BUILDING

Built from the beginning.
Made to be felt.

Ten years of NOVA.
A whole world around Carnival.

THE PROJECT, AT A GLANCE

From the first mark.
To every moment.

We built NOVA Mas’s brand from the ground up: its original logo, its visual identity and the campaigns that have carried it through ten years of Carnival.

2026’s Watch the Throne brings that relationship into focus. A regal campaign world moves through costume announcements, apparel, merchandise and the spaces people gather in.

From inception · Ten years

CHALLENGE

A new season. Still unmistakably NOVA.

Build excitement around a fresh theme while keeping the brand recognisable across a full calendar of events.

DECISION

One identity. Room for different worlds.

Connect the season through NOVA’s identity, then give Watch the Throne, Swizzle and RAVE their own campaign language.

RESULT

A brand people step into.

The work extends beyond the feed into what people wear, hold and photograph. The event images show those connections in real life.

01 / CREATE THE DESIRE

A world worth
stepping into.

Gold, ceremonial architecture and vivid costume portraits give Watch the Throne its character. The same visual language carries the invitation, the contest and the next step.

02 / MAKE IT TANGIBLE

Carried into Carnival.

The colour, typography and ten-year mark continue across the T-fête apparel, mug and bag. Each piece is part of the same season.

03 / A DIFFERENT MOOD. THE SAME FAMILY.

From the throne
to the garden.

Swizzle at Sunrise opens up a brighter, floral world. Outfit inspiration, VIP information and event graphics make that atmosphere recognisable before guests arrive.

04 / BUILD THE WORLD AROUND THEM

Beyond the post.
Into the place.

The campaign becomes an environment: a Watch the Throne arch and photo-op for Revel de Road; a layered floral photo wall for Swizzle. Designed at event scale, with the same attention to the details.

05 / THE AFTER-DARK CHAPTER

A different frequency.
Still part of the story.

For RAVE, our work builds the campaign’s visual world through key artwork and motion. A distinct mood within the wider NOVA calendar.

THE RELATIONSHIP / FROM INCEPTION

A decade of building.
Not a single season.

NOVA began with an identity we created. The relationship has continued year after year, developing a new campaign around each season while building recognition around the same brand.
