Started officially as a freelance design company in 2001. As many youngsters before computers took over the world the hippo was lurking the late night streets armed with DIY posters to promote local heroes aspirations to stardom. Amazing pieces of art were realised with crayons, scissors, tippex, tape and other handy tools to create the perfect imagery for both stellar artists and young tax write-off bands.

Album design, poster art and t-shirt motifs has always been the main focus but we’ve also heard that the hippo is capable of making a pair of hip leather pants just in time for your premiere at a VIP aftershow party. Sharpened skills during the years also means that services nowadays include removal of pimples on important pictures, hell you have to look good on that graduation photograph on grannys shelf. If things turned out so bad that you might require a new face, maybe even a new head don’t hesitate to contact the hippo for instant retouch surgery.

Since the beginning a wide array of clients have passed through the hippo filter and here are a couple of examples in no particular order:
Arch Enemy, Beat Under Control, Century Media Records, Clas Yngström & Sky High, Conny Bloom, Cybercom Consulting Group, Bilda Studieförbund, Mondo, FUZZ Magazine, Goatbridge Productions, Medtronic, Grooveyard Records, Kamchatka, InsideOut Records, JVC Victor Entertainment, Markus Resch AB, Music For Nations, Sanctuary Music Ltd, SpiritualBeggars, SPV Records, Stonecake, Toy’s Factory, Bongo Brains etc.

Greetings and BTW have you ever heard a hippo howl in the pale moonlight?
