New identity for Cinema in Concert ! 🎻

Film concerts where you watch the full movie on the big screen while a live orchestra plays the entire score. The Lord of the Rings, Gladiator, Interstellar, all in close collaboration with the film studios. We’ve been a few times ourselves (for research, obviously) and it’s really, really high-end. Top orchestras, perfect sound balance, and you get completely lost in the movie.

But how do you build a brand of your own when every show already carries someone else’s iconic identity? With Gandalf on every poster, Cinema in Concert itself kept getting overlooked. There was no real design system yet, and with international plans ahead, they needed an identity that matches the quality of the shows. Plus a logo that holds its own next to the big film studios and other partners.

Many thanks to the Cinema in Concert team!

New work for Cinema in Concert. 🎻

They put on film concerts. A big screen, with a live orchestra playing the score. Lord of the Rings, Gladiator, Interstellar, all in close collaboration with the film studios. We’ve been to a few shows ourselves, and it’s a really high-end night out. Top orchestras, the sound balance is spot on, and you get completely pulled into the film.

But how do you build a brand of your own when every show already carries someone else’s iconic identity? With Gandalf on every poster, the Cinema in Concert brand kept getting overlooked. There was also no real design system behind it yet. And with plans to go international, they wanted an identity that matches the quality of the shows.

So we built a new brand. A full design system that runs from the logo and the new website all the way into the venues, so the brand is there from the moment you walk in.

A big thanks to the Cinema in Concert team.

More to show from our work for hydroformations

The long-term research programme ‘Hydroformations’ engages the Rhine River as living and lively, and develops artistic methods that think and sense with the river. Initiated in 2024 by Xandra van der Eijk, the programme investigates the questions: How do you meet a river on their own terms? How can you sense a river’s nature, their being? How do you get to know a river?

Research, investigation and discovery became the core principles of the identity and website as well. The research doesn’t follow a linear path, moving through different times, perspectives, bodies and beings, creating new and unexpected connections along the way.

The website visualises this ongoing process and invites visitors to explore and make their own connections, meeting the river from different perspectives.

The website keeps flowing as the research develops.

We designed and built the website and identity in close conversation with the research as it unfolded. Drawing on the river’s material, sensorial and relational qualities, we developed an interface that uses real-time simulations to create a fluid ‘gravitational ecosystem’. Content drifts, attracts and repels like living organisms. Tags and anchors reveal how the research connects; an index maps the emerging learnings.

A big thanks to Xandra van der Eijk for the inspiring collaboration and trust throughout this process.

💫💫💫

For the Orbit Festival 2026 identity, we explored how Fort Vechten’s landscape could become part of the identity itself through photogrammetry and used depth maps on artist photography to turn the images into 3D as well.

Orbit 2026 🪐

For the 2026 edition, we merged the digital with the tactile and organic surroundings. Portraits were transformed into 3D using AI-generated depth maps, while flora from the site was captured through photogrammetry and manipulated in Blender, blending natural textures with the colours and graphic language of the identity. We also built a custom WebGL tool that generates 3D landscapes from letterforms and objects, adding depth and movement to portraits, flora, video, photography, gradients and typography.
