In the summer of 2020, as the UK cautiously emerged from national lockdown, I was commissioned to create the full visual identity and branding for the Liverpool Theatre Festival , one of the very first major cultural events to return to the city.
Held at the atmospheric ruins of Liverpool’s Bombed Out Church, the festival symbolised hope, resilience, and the long-awaited return of live performance. My brief was to capture this powerful sense of renewal while honouring the raw, historic beauty of the venue.
I designed a bold, elegant brand identity that blended theatrical drama with post-lockdown optimism — featuring a custom wordmark, poster series, digital assets, and environmental signage.
This project was especially meaningful as it helped welcome audiences back to live arts after months of isolation, playing a small but significant role in the cultural recovery of Liverpool.
