A festival identity that keeps time

Cadence

A new music festival needed a brand that lived in motion across screens, stages, and three days of programming.

The challenge

Festival branding is usually a poster that gets awkwardly cropped everywhere else. Cadence needed a system built to move from the start.

Our approach

We designed the identity as a beat — a modular bar system that animates to tempo, generating stage screens, socials, and wayfinding from one rhythmic rule.

The outcome

Cadence sold out its debut year and the motion kit ran the entire event without a single bespoke asset request.
