Personalised Team Keyrings
- 2 min reading time
This project was created as a set of end-of-year gifts for the Raw Barbell Club/DBC team.
The idea was to turn staff into simplified cartoon-style characters, creating something personal, recognisable, and a bit of fun—while still tying back to the club environment.
Each keyring was produced using layered acrylic to build up the character details and colour.
- Individual character designs based on each team member
- Lifting theme carried across all pieces
- Multiple acrylic layers to create depth and separation
- Consistent overall style while allowing each piece to feel personal
Design Approach
The focus was on keeping the characters simple enough to work at a small scale, while still capturing enough detail to make them recognisable.
- Facial features simplified for clarity
- Clothing and colours used to differentiate individuals
This balance ensures the designs hold up physically without losing their personality.
Purpose of the Project
Rather than standard branded merch, these were designed as internal gifts—something more personal for the team.
They work as:
- End-of-year keepsakes
- Team recognition pieces
- A more considered alternative to generic merchandise
Outcome
The final result is a set of small, durable pieces that feel specific to the people receiving them.
Each one reflects the individual, while still sitting within a consistent overall style tied to the Raw Barbell Club brand.
Custom Character Products
Projects like this sit slightly outside standard branding work, but they’re a good way to create something more personal.
If you’re looking to turn people, teams, or ideas into custom pieces, we can adapt designs into physical products that still feel clean and considered.
