MLS CUP 2024 – CREATIVE DIRECTION — For the 2024 MLS Cup Finals, HI-VIS led Creative Direction across the league’s biggest moment—defining how soccer showed up in stadiums, in media, and across culture.

Our concept: The Press. Inspired by the raw immediacy of newspaper printing, we created a visual system that felt urgent, electric, and alive. From broadcast matchups to tunnel moments, pitch boards to social rollouts, everything hit like breaking news from the frontlines of a new era in American soccer. In partnership with Cornerstone and the league
