Not for
Long-term brand identities.
Questions planners ask
Why design an identity for one night?
Because a strong identity makes an event feel like an occasion before anyone arrives.
Does it have to follow our brand?
It can borrow from it, or deliberately step away from it. We decide that together.
What's included?
Usually invitations, signage, screens, wayfinding and a piece of merch people keep.
Thinking of doing this?
Borrow the idea, it's yours. If you'd like a hand, or just a second opinion on whether it suits your group, write to me. I produce ideas like this one at Sorry, No Polar Bears, a Helsinki studio I co-run.
