POKEMON BRANDING

POKEMON BRANDING

Since the Pokémon Corporate Personhood Act of 2015, as spearheaded by Professor OAK, Pokémon became free to start their own companies, mandating the design of Pokémon brand identities.

 

We were on the forefront of this radical development and designed several visual identities for Pokémon.

ZUBAT

A mysterious company also under the Team Rocket Holdings umbrella, Zubat is rumored to be the company used for clandestine operations by the Team Rocket Holdings’ enigmatic CEO, Giovanni.

EKANS

A Team Rocket Corporation subsidiary, Ekans is a medium-sized but tight-knit company that controls the Kanto and Johto region’s online gamling industry and game halls.

To pay homage to its business as a casino and gambling company the brand was designed with elements resembling a dice’s six-face for good luck.

PIKACHU

Often called the impulse that powered a generation of Electronic Dance Music artists, Pikachu makes unparalled beat computers and synthesizers. Some say it has sparked a revolution in music!

BEEDRILL

Beedrill is Kanto’s premiere honey company, although has endured a fair amount of bad press lately due to rumors of poisoned batches of honey.

CUBONE

Fresh threads from sustainable sources is what the hip clothing label Cubone is all about. Originally started as a bespoke clothing shop in Brooklyn, Cubone is now a well known global brand for edgy harp artisanal clothes.

BULBASAUR

Bulbasaur is a relatively new but booming plant fertilizing company that has quickly become a consumer favorite. Some say the business is growing so rapidly it may soon evolve and flower into an entirely new business model.

CHARMANDER

Charmander’s claim to fame are its long-lasting matches, which both illuminate and burn brighter and longer than its competitors. Analysts have indicated high growth potential for this company.

Electrabuzz is a power company that provides energy and power services in the greater Kanto region.

ODDISH

Oddish started as an organic farmer collective in Maine, but has taken to the internet to spread its seeds and pollen far and wide. Some say its future looks dark, or even gloomy as the market presssures are increasing on the small green upstart.

PIDGEY

Pidgey may be behind UPS in air freight, but the fledgling package shipment airline is rapidly growing in this highly competitive market of parcel delivery. We have high hopes for this one.

DITTO

An engimatic company said to be powering a manufacturing and smuggling network of foreign counterfeit products like knock-off

iPhones, handbags and even Nintendo merchandise.

TENTACOOL

A company specializing in eyewear for the cool and nonchalant fashionable customer, Tentacool is one of the fastest growing suppliers of celebrity endorsed eyewear.

 

Their latest best selling pair of shades, the Deayle Wititt series,

has been sold over a million times worldwide.

KAKUNA

And finally, to round it all up, this was all made possible by the hardened think-tank Kakuna, which was among the first to lobby for the Pokémon Corporate Personhood act. Thanks guys!

Thanks for checking out this fun design experiment by Pictogram founder Sebastiaan de With who did something similar a long time back. If you enjoyed this, we’d love a shout-out!
