Lamborghini — Creative Lead & Visual Design (end-to-end)
The Real Race — Lamborghini Esports case study — Creative Lead & Visual Designer building a complete visual ecosystem (identity, broadcast overlays, digital, events) for a global esports championship.
Context
The Real Race is a global esports championship developed by Lamborghini, structured across multiple geographical areas including EU, NALA and APAC, with additional wildcard activations.
The project required a visual system able to operate seamlessly across digital competition and physical events, adapting to different platforms, locations and competitive stages.
Our Role

We handled creative direction, system design and execution, coordinating all visual outputs across digital and physical touchpoints.
- Visual identity
- Broadcast graphics & overlays
- Social and campaign communication
- Digital assets and website design
- Competition-related visual systems
- Physical event visuals and print production

The core challenge was translating Lamborghini’s performance-driven brand into a clear, competitive and globally scalable esports language.
The system was designed to:
- Remain consistent across regions
- Adapt to multiple platforms and formats
- Support both live competition and ongoing communication
Broadcast & Competition
Broadcast graphics and overlays were developed to support:
Clarity, hierarchy and speed of reading were essential under live conditions.
