Festival of Recorded Movement
(2023 Festival Year)
On behalf of the 8th festival year of F-O-R-M, the team and I decided to rebrand in order to deliver our focus on youth and emerging artists visually through branding. The ethos of the new brand visual was bold and inclusive, as decided through numerous meetings with the internal team and the artists themselves, conveying the team's best wishes and support to the artists.
As an immigrant in these unceded territories, I strongly recognized and felt a sense of belonging to this inclusiveness. During my design practice, digital collage with motion graphics is most commonly used, and the team supported me in continuing with my iconic style. Collage, to me, serves as a metaphor for inclusiveness as it can combine various graphics with diverse colors, media, textures, and more. Reflecting on this, collage became the medium through which I hoped to amplify the voices of minority groups.
I crafted a brand story by collaging together the previous F-O-R-M artists’ works and rendering the collage in motion. Through this, we reunited all the artists and celebrated with them in our new festival year. The brand colors comprised variations of red, green, and blue, also known as the primary colors, which can be mixed to create a spectrum of colors. With inclusiveness permeating through all visual aspects, the new F-O-R-M branding has arrived.

2016 - 2022 Logo v.s. New Logo
The logo was designed to be bold and solid, with a more modern and artistic style compared to the previous version. It aims to showcase a relatively minimalist yet still dynamic aesthetic, contrasting and amplifying the motion and richness in the main visual.
The rectangular logo clear space ensures that the new F-O-R-M logo remains legible and stands out prominently in the logo farm.
The main visual follows the previous year's format of selecting past F-O-R-M Artists' work and redesigning it.
The innovation for the 2023 festival year is the introduction of collage into the main visual, allowing for the selection of multiple artists and conveying a theme of inclusivity and support.
Compared with the 2022 Festival year, the new branding uses a light background with multiple secondary colors. This refreshes the audience with a different aesthetic while still maintaining the core spirit of F-O-R-M's brand.
