Mutations Festival 2023

The visual identity for the 2023 edition of Mutations, the multi-venue festival that takes over Brighton's independent spaces for a weekend of emerging and established artists. Built to cut through a social feed and hold its presence across a city.
Project Details
For 2023, the brief was a distinct visual identity that could live across digital launch content and physical festival environments, immediate and culturally embedded, able to cut through social feeds while holding its presence across the city. The core identity and launch assets were developed in under a week.
I designed the core brand identity, defining the motion language and the primary visual assets. Deliverables included the teaser and lineup announcement films, plus static visuals later applied out-of-home across billboards, posters and festival collateral, wristbands, lanyards, brochures and merchandise. Graphic designer Franz Jeitz adapted and extended the identity across print and physical applications, carrying the core visuals into a cohesive city-wide presence.
The launch visuals were also developed into looping projections for screens across the festival venues, so the identity carried through from announcement campaign to the live environment.

Concept
The concept took the festival's name literally, cellular growth, punctuated with mercury. The film opens on the logo, which begins to mutate and dissolve into smaller parts. Diving into them, down to particles of the fragments starting to reform, then pulling back out as the full logo resolves again. A continuous loop of breaking apart and coming back together, which also let the launch films live as five-minute looping projections in the venues.
The launch led with motion, a logo teaser and lineup film built for social, where clarity and energy did the work of driving ticket sales, before the identity settled into static applications.
