World Cup round-up

Parallel has designed this bold yellow and black screen printed World Cup wall chart, which according to creative director Paul Fox ‘takes its influence from the classic 60′s calendars by Massimo Vignelli.’ Matt Willey’s MFRED typeface has been used for the numbers and the headlines.

Karoshi has designed this black and silver World Cup wall chart – which mercifully came with a silver pen – and it has also been made in digital form if that’s all a bit too analogue for you.

Here’s Crispin Finn’s take on the World Cup wall chart in their signature red white and blue. Although Crispin Finn have themselves sold out of the design, the people of Beach have got a few left.

Studio DBB designer Dave Sedgwick has helped Manchester bar and gallery TwentyTwentyTwo explain its World Cup screening programme, with this printed guide, entitled Go.

An accompanying exhibition, Hey, will feature the images seen here in the book which shows player illustrations from each of the tournament’s  32 teams.

Marmalade on Toast has added some digital wizardry to the traditional sweepstake format with this multi-device sweepstake generator Shuffl. Here’s how it works:

Creative Nation and independent creative director Jon Daniel has branded The Art of Futebol for the ABC Trust, which has engaged Brazilian legends including Pele, Ronaldo and Romario for the project that will see footballs signed by the players, made into artworks by the likes of Pure Evil, Inkie, and Jimmy Galvin.

Meanwhile the design industry has been given a classic footy makeover in Cog Design’s World Cup Sweepstake. You can see editor Angus Montgomery has been given a fetching Alexi Lalas-style barnet and facial hair. Each member of the industry has been matched with a team from the tournament in a draw that went something like this.
