Benefit Software, a sponsor on and off the pitch

Benefit Software is a Greek software company that builds ERP, HR and AI tools. Since 2024 I’ve designed its brand material and its football sponsorships, Apollon Smyrnis and Panionios. Below, 49 pieces, from a logo animation to stadium signs and a limited-edition kit.

The year in nine posters

To close 2025, nine posters told the company’s year in nine different styles: a Batmobile, a race against a pizza, a scooter delivery, Ronaldo in an Apollon shirt and a trip to Tuvalu. They hung in the office and ran as a series on social media.

A club from Smyrna

Apollon was founded in Smyrna in 1891. Its archive, from team photos to the club charter and the city itself, set the tone for the kit and for the stadium walls, where the club’s history now hangs next to its partners.

A limited-edition third kit

A black third kit made with Errea and three more partners to support children with cancer, with a monogram drawn from the club’s history, the Dienasty name on the sleeve and Benefit across the front. I designed the kit graphics, the presentation and a teaser trailer.

Matchday

Every home game got its own AI-made poster: Greek gods and statues in gold frames, with the opponent, the date and the partners. Two kit films opened the season: Light of Smyrna and Wear the Legacy.
