CyberQ Group

Find out how I managed to design some beer mats for CyberQ Group in two hours for Birmingham Tech Week 2025.

CyberQ Group

CyberQ Group are a cybersecurity company based in Birmingham, England, who offer cybersecurity services to prevent and protect cyberattacks from occurring to businesses.

The challenge

Birmingham Tech Week was a few weeks away and CyberQ Group needed some beer mats designed. The catch - I had to come up with a simple design that reflected the cyber theme that CyberQ Group wanted to convey with their beer mats in two hours.

The solution

I came up with a circular design for the beer mats and managed to create a cyber-themed beer mat that would be shown at Birmingham Tech Week for CyberQ Group. After coming up with the initial concept in Figma, I designed two versions, a dark and light beer mat. The idea was to make the CyberQ Group visible to the attendees attending Birmingham Tech Week.

Results

Once I designed the beer mats, the client was happy with what I produced, which led to tens and hundreds of beer mats for Birmingham Tech Week being distributed by CyberQ Group. It meant over 8,000 attendees had a chance to view or have one of CyberQ Group's beer mats.
