Transforming BP Pulse Live!
Hollywood Monster were appointed to deliver a full-scale visual transformation of one of the UK’s most iconic live entertainment venues, relaunching the NEC Birmingham arena as BP Pulse Live. Hosting over 100 shows and 700,000 visitors a year, the brief was to create a bold new identity that could perform under the pressure of a live events calendar and redefine the guest experience from arrival to seat.
BP Pulse Live needed a complete rebrand that would make a statement across the NEC campus and carry through every touchpoint inside the arena. The challenge: deliver exterior impact, seamless interior branding and a guest experience that felt as world-class as the performances – all with zero disruption to a packed live schedule.
BP Pulse Live now carries a strong visual signature across the entire NEC campus. From the glowing architectural ring to the vibrant interior graphics, the venue doesn’t just host world-class shows – it feels like one.

“Hollywood Monster did a fantastic job on the rebrand of the BP Pulse LIVE music arena at the NEC. From the halo-lit signage to the layered vinyls, every element was crafted to make a statement, as well as survive the Birmingham weather. The result is a refreshed and vibrant arena that delivers an exciting BP Pulse brand experience that feels as electric as the brand itself.”
Paul Goodmaker, Global Head of Sponsorships | BP Pulse
