Fosnavåg is a city on the island of Bergsøya, situated off the west coast of Norway not far from the Altantic Ocean. It is home to a variety of maritime businesses including fishing, logistics and shipbuilding, and now the location of Fosnavaag Cultural Centre, a new concert hall founded by the local community.
Fosnavaag Cultural Centre’s brand identity, created by Scandinavian graphic design studio Heydays, explores the relationship between Fosnavåg and the Atlantic Ocean—the foundation of local industry and culture, the point at which old weathered buildings meet a precise and contemporary structure, technology and innovation, and the convergence of sea and music. This was visualised as an identity system that included dynamic animated logo and interactive signage, illuminated interior displays, t-shirts, badges and business cards.

El Semillero is a large residential development program, managed by Fraterna, that intends to create a sustainable environment with expandable housing solutions based around basic needs and “economic flexibility” – presumably spaces that keep pace with current economic changes, improved social mobility and are accessible to a variety of income groups. Set at the heart of the Mexican city of Monterrey, the project is said to be predominantly aimed at young couples and hopes to revive local culture which is said to be on the decline. El Semillero’s brand identity, which included logotype, a variety of printed assets and extensive illustration work, was recently created by design studio Anagrama.
