In 2015, the Festival
commissioned a brand development project from Dutch agency Fabrique. The agency
recommended an entirely new identity for the brand and delivered the concept.
Working closely with agency’s Creative Director I was the design liaison between the organisation and the agency. As such I was responsible for developing the concept and finalising the new visual identity for the Festival. I was then solely responsible for the full implementation of the branding throughout a wide variety of materials for every department including print, in particular the vital full Festival brochure, literature, advertising, digital channels and large format displays across the city for the 2016 Festival.

the city of Edinburgh during Festival in August 2016.










A Visual Style Guide document has also been created to ensure consistency when applying the brand.
