Fabulously retro identity by BVD in Stockholm, for Sweden’s branch of convenience store chain 7-Eleven.
Using iconic coloured stripes as the centrepiece, the identity was updated specifically for the Swedish market and emphasises the ‘smart and convenient’ brand experience.

Ever wondered what happens to a parcel during transit? Ruben van der Vleuten hid a small camera in a box, together with an Arduino-powered timer circuit, and sent it back to himself.
The timer was set to make a 3-second video every minute, and longer videos while the box was moving. The result is a charming insight into a parcel’s journey from sender to recipient.
