#eKingPelé | Puma
In 1969, King Pelé scored his thousandth goal wearing Puma boots. But younger generations never got to see him play and grew up with different idols.
To celebrate this historic moment and change that, Puma decided to pay tribute to Pelé with another thousand goals. This time, on a different field: online.
The visual identity combined elements of the player, his glory, and his status as the King — all blended into an atmosphere that brought together the online and offline pitches.
The choice of blue was more than just a design decision. It was deeply personal. Blue was a color Pelé held dear, echoing the name of his mother, Celeste. In Portuguese, “celeste” means sky blue — a connection that evokes a sense of nostalgia and pays tribute to Pelé’s personal history.

My role: Concept, Art Direction and Design.
