The task

Colossus holds concerts, corporate events and festivals in a former printing house in Almaty and runs its own festival JAR and the JILT party series. All of them needed one voice, and the venue needed decks for event organisers, brands and investors.

What we did

Jean Ivanov and Kirill Kozlovsky made the identity and the brand book: a monochrome palette from white to graphite, a logo that is never recoloured, headlines that mix upright and italic type, and six seasonal colours that let the brand change its clothes between seasons without losing its face. Jean then set the venue's 1920×1080 decks in the brand book's look: the events deck, seventeen slides in Russian, English and Kazakh, and a commercial proposal.
