This original New Year banner is inspired by the warm, lively atmosphere of North American street celebrations. Featuring cartoon-style 3D anthropomorphic cats, the design captures a joyful moment filled with fireworks, music, confetti, and shared laughter.
Rather than referencing any specific city or event, the scene focuses on universal holiday feelings — friendly gatherings, colorful lights, and the excitement of welcoming something new together. The result is a festive illustration that feels familiar, cheerful, and uniquely original.
🐾 Character Design Concept
The cats in this banner are designed as fully original 3D cartoon characters:
- Upright posture with gentle human-like gestures
- Rounded shapes and soft proportions for a friendly, family-safe look
- Expressive faces showing excitement, curiosity, and warmth
Each cat wears simple winter accessories such as scarves, hats, or jackets — styled in a generic festive way to avoid cultural or branded references. They are not mascots, but participants, enjoying the celebration just like people do.
🎨 Typography Design Concept
The “Happy New Year!” text is custom-designed to match the North American celebration atmosphere.
Typography features:
- Bold, rounded letterforms inspired by parade signage
- Subtle 3D depth to match the cartoon cats
- Decorative accents resembling fireworks sparks and floating confetti
- Soft curves that echo the playful body language of the cats
The lettering feels energetic and welcoming, designed as an integrated visual element rather than a separate text layer.
📖 Design Story & Emotional Journey
The creative process started with observing how New Year celebrations in North America often feel less ceremonial and more communal. People gather outdoors, count down together, cheer, hug, and enjoy simple moments — even strangers feel like friends for a night.
This banner translates that feeling into a visual story. The cats represent diversity and togetherness, each reacting differently to the celebration: one waving, one watching fireworks in awe, another tossing confetti into the air. The street setting, glowing lights, and fireworks create a sense of shared space — a place where everyone belongs.
The goal was to design a New Year scene that feels joyful without being overwhelming, festive without being loud, and celebratory without relying on recognizable landmarks or copyrighted symbols.
