Sounds of the Pub
Cogs & Marvel

Sounds of the Pub is a free digital tool, developed as a branded internal project by Irish-based creative agency Cogs & Marvel for St Patrick’s Day 2021. The site offers an interactive and customisable user experience, adapting the cultural environment of the traditional Irish pub for the virtual space. Users are given control of seven custom-made audio sliders, recalling recognisable Irish pub sounds. 

As part of the Cogs & Marvel design team, I developed an illustrated visual identity from hand-drawn illustration and modern pub sign typography. The key visual was then applied across all social assets, alongside a media campaign to raise awareness of the project just ahead of St Patrick’s Day. Within 48 hours, the site had hit over 300,000 views worldwide, fueled largely by social media sharing and media/press generation. Sounds of the Pub remains up for free public use today.
