One has a tall ship, some rowers, a fishing boat … and a giant lobster crashing through the water in Boston Harbor, defending a goal from an incoming soccer ball. The other features a blend of Celtic punk, classic rock, boy-band beats and classical scoring – some of the musical styles defining Boston. The colorful images and innovative sound remix featured in the Boston World Cup poster and sonic ID are emblematic of the best of Boston – two representations created by local artists to showcase our city to soccer fans worldwide. We speak with two of the artists behind the iconic Boston imagery and sounds.
