Feather-brained friends for Messenger Stickers

Everybody loves a pigeon. So when Meta came to us with talk of a pigeon-themed Sticker Pack for Messenger, we were all of a flutter.

Birds are an expressive bunch on the whole, but pigeons have that edge of relatability that makes them all the more loveable. Since they’re found in cities around the world, most people will be familiar with their odd little ways.

Feral pigeons are such scruffy and eccentric characters, it really allowed us to tap into the slightly bizarre and funny ideas that naturally came out during the concepting phase.

Early Sketches

As the designs took shape, we took into consideration the world that these birds inhabit. We wanted it to feel authentic, so we decided that all of the props should be objects that a pigeon might find on the street.

We hope to bring a smile with this gaggle of feathery chums. Look for ‘Bird Brained’ in the Messenger sticker store!
