Mundo Perreo is an annual music festival in Mexico City that celebrates the pulse of Latin electronica and perreo culture. Featuring artists across reggaetón, dembow, and perreo-inspired EDM, the event unites fans through music, dance, and unapologetic self-expression.

DESIGNING THE EXPERIENCE
Design a playful, high-energy brand identity for Mundo Perreo, a new music festival debuting in CDMX. The branding should resonate with a Spanish-speaking crowd and live across every touchpoint, from immersive stage designs to merch, web, and social campaigns.

WHO WE’RE SPEAKING TO
Young, Latin American music fans with a love for EDM, reggaetón, and perreo culture; especially those drawn to underground artists and subcultures.

FINDING THE BRAND IDENTITY

To define Mundo Perreo’s brand identity, I used the I.D.E.A. framework to organize key insights and opportunities:

  • Inquiry — Who is this for, and why now?

  • Definition — What values shape our vision and define success?

  • Exploration — How do we compare to similar festivals, and what sets us apart?

  • Action — What will this look like, and how will we measure impact?

With this in mind, we can establish a positioning statement:

Mundo Perreo delivers the ultimate experience for lovers of perreo music. As the only festival dedicated to showcasing Latin American artists across all perreo subgenres, Mundo Perreo is a celebration open to all. It’s where unity through music, culture, and self-expression comes alive, embodying the true spirit of the perreo lifestyle.

Wordlisting and moodboarding shaped the creative direction, leading to clear guidelines:

  • Incorporating micro designs, layering, and textured grains

  • Defining color palettes and typeface pairings

  • Creating a distinct photo treatment with path blurs and color washes
