Dinosaurs: Unextinct at the L.A. Zoo
We worked with the Los Angeles Zoo to create custom merchandise for the immersive experience Dinosaurs: Unextinct at the L.A. Zoo.
This limited-time event featured life-size animatronic dinosaurs placed throughout the zoo, blending prehistoric adventure with modern wildlife conservation. We captured this excitement through a bold line of merchandise that included:
-
T-Shirts & Hoodies featuring fierce dino illustrations and fossil-inspired graphics.
-
Zoo and Event logos and branding
-
Kids' Apparel with fun, cartoon-style dinosaur characters and glow-in-the-dark prints
-
Hats, Totes & Accessories showcasing Jurassic textures, claw marks, and prehistoric branding
-
Collectible Posters & Pins inspired by vintage science exhibits and explorer field journals
Every piece was designed to excite young visitors, educate families, and support the zoo’s mission through dynamic, retail-ready visuals.
