Customisation on umbrella: logo print, digital print on inside of umbrella and personalised engraved handle ring. Warp Records commissioned us to make their promotional umbrella for Aphex Twin. The Aphex Twin umbrella is as dramatic as the musician’s work. This great promotional umbrella for the musician who is well known for his influential and idiosyncratic work in ambient techno and dance music is a great example of our digital print that takes detailed artwork and interprets it so well onto the premium quality pongee we use on our umbrellas. Aphex Twin’s self image which is distorted and creepy is a signature look for the musician and has been recreated on this promotional wood walker umbrella and printed on the inside of the umbrella. The external umbrella canopy is white with a black graphic over the 8 panels and matched at the seams. Also included in the branding is an engraved metal handle ring with the same logo that appears on the printed panels.
