Float The Highlands is a Onewheel event in the Scottish Highlands and is renowned for hosting one of the toughest downhill race courses ever attempted on a Onewheel. Drawing participants and enthusiasts from across the world, this event represents a unique and thrilling experience. To enhance their presence and create a lasting memory, Float The Highlands approached us with a request for merchandise designs, both for online sales and on-site availability during the event.
The Challenge:
Incorporating the rich culture and humor of the Scottish Highlands into merchandise designs presented a unique challenge. We needed to ensure that the humor was both universally understood by Onewheel enthusiasts from around the world and respectful of the local culture. Balancing the appeal of the designs to a global audience while infusing them with a touch of Scottish charm was a delicate task, requiring creativity and cultural sensitivity. Additionally, the challenge involved creating designs that not only captured the thrill of the event but also held sentimental value, allowing attendees and participants to carry home a piece of the Scottish Highlands unforgettable experience.
The Solution:
To meet Float The Highlands’ requirements, we embarked on the creation of merchandise designs that would elevate the event’s image. We took a creative approach, incorporating popular UK brands and rebranding them with Onewheel sayings. Additionally, we designed a unique shirt featuring a Highland Cattle holding up a sign that humorously read “Yer Aff Yer Heid,” a Scottish phrase for “you are crazy” or “you are out of your mind.” These designs were not only visually appealing but also showcased the unique and exhilarating nature of the event, effectively capturing the spirit of Float The Highlands.
The Result:
Our collaboration with Float The Highlands led to the creation of captivating merchandise designs that not only captured the essence of the event but also added a touch of humor and local flavor. With these merchandise designs, they continue to offer a piece of the thrill to fans from around the world, leaving a lasting impression on the Onewheel community, along with a touch of Scottish humor and charm.
