254 Forest is a Brussels-based creative studio – run by Claire Silva Moreira, Frederic Ameel, Jean-Stéphane Garbe, Ismael Moumin and international videographer Pierre Debusschere – that works within the fields of photography, film, music production and post production. Their visual identity, developed by graphic design agency Codefrisko, utilises a distinctive combination of a pearlesque substrate and holographic block foil treatment across the studio’s business card, the contrast of a sharp logo-type and blurred, 45 degree lightning strike – perhaps the flash of a bulb, the energy necessary for creative endeavour or the presentation of perspective -, and the website’s clear sense of foreground and background, to neatly resolve the depth of focus and changing light of still and moving images. Avoiding the more obvious and literal visualisations of the industry.

Following Channel Four’s recent rebranding of More4 in January they have turned their attention to their popular UK music channel, 4Music. This March, following the trend for more socially engaging TV channels, 4Music will launch a new visual identity system that will include a new logo and on-screen idents created by Box Tv.
My initial opinion was that, in its static form the new logo had lost a lot of the energy of the previous iteration but on reflection this two dimensional version has a far greater flexibility that once animated should recapture some of the lost dimensionality while delivering a more diverse and expressive set of brand personalities.
