Branding

Creative

Making waves within performing arts.

A layered brand for the future of performance.

We built a people-first brand for DramaHE, centred around the ripple effect of performance. Through narrative-driven design, expressive visuals and a flexible graphic system, we helped position them as a collective shaping the next generation of performing artists.

The challenge

DramaHE brings together institutions across the UK and beyond, but their brand didn’t reflect their impact. They needed an identity that captured emotion, connection and change, while still feeling cohesive and clear for a broad academic and creative audience.

The Solution

We created a layered brand system inspired by the ripple effect, each part representing personal growth, shared experience and social impact. The mechanic gives space for storytelling, while holding strong across channels. It’s emotional, structured and unapologetically human.

“Using the collage effect felt so right with this project, it captured the rawness and the variety you get with performing arts. The aim was to create something without limits, that could live and breathe for decades to come.”
