We were approached by Marketing Bees, based in the UK, to help with a design for a client of theirs. We were given the challenge of creating an eye-catching and original livery design for Pride in Warrington.

Many Pride buses tend to stick to straight lines or reference the rainbow flag. I chose to go with Zebra stripes as it represents being wild and free. Zebra’s are also hard to tell gender wise and they are apparently fluid in their sexuality, so I thought it was a good link to the brief to create a zebra pattern using the rainbow colours. I then found a great image of a Drag Queen and added the stripes on her hair and skin, I also added the zebra pattern fingernails. This lead to the statement: “Be Proud of Your Stripes” i.e. meaning, be proud to be you.
