But there's something entertaining about the Marvelous Mischief Makers concept, which pays tribute to [comic book miscreants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-heroes-vs-villains). Student graphic designer Lisa Schneller was assigned the task of planning a unique event, and she chose to invent a ComicCon type of convention that sticks within the theme of strictly [evil superheroes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villainverse). After establishing her idea, the creative developed a clever invitation box complete with [stick-on curled mustaches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-can-fix-him), information about the event and a specially printed stack of notepads. A run of billboards, posters and decals were also designed according to the same branding identity, and the Marvelous Mischief Makers conference was even given a website. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/branding) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Evil Superhero Conventions:** Opportunity for organizing conventions dedicated to evil superheroes, providing a unique and entertaining experience for fans. - **Unique Event Invitations:** Opportunity to create clever and immersive invitation boxes, enhancing the excitement and anticipation for the event. - **Themed Branding:** Opportunity to design cohesive branding elements like billboards, posters, and decals that align with the theme of the event. ### Who This Affects Most - **Event Management:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in organizing and managing themed events dedicated to evil superheroes. - **Graphic Design:** Opportunities for graphic designers to create unique and immersive event invitations that align with the theme of the event. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Opportunities for marketers to develop cohesive branding strategies for themed events, including billboards, posters, and decals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Celebratory Odd Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ridiculous-design.md) - [Good-Natured Mischief Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vlad-frank-midnight-mischief.md) - [Villainous Mobile Device Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-villains-x-casetify.md) - [Villain-Themed Shoe Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kith-for-asics.md) - [Villain-Inspired Graphic Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-mxxxxxx.md) - [High-Concept Brand Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legitimate-you.md) - [Reimagined Beloved Character Comics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marvel-and-disney.md) - [Villain Inspired Fragrance Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-villains-2.md) - [Esports Fan Community Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villainverse.md)
