The Manchester Food and Drink Festival has celebrated its 15th successful year in 2012, and design and communications agency Eskimo was appointed to create a dynamic and exciting identity for this year's event.

Eskimo specialises in creative design for print and digital for brands, companies and clients around the globe - but is appropriately based in Manchester, UK's Northern Quarter.

MFDF is an urban food and drink festival with no single location - the festival takes over as much of the city centre and surrounding districts of Greater Manchester as possible.

Eskimo has come up with a fun, simple and effective design, with plenty of colour and inspired use of imagery that could easily have seemed rather clichéd in lesser hands.
