The 2017 York Early Music Festival marked its 40th anniversary with the theme Changing Times, Changing Places — exploring how music evolves through moments of upheaval and transformation.
The design for the York Early Music Festival identity in 2017, is built around a vintage clock embedded in the Earth, its hands shaped as missiles. This detail added a sense of urgency and tension, nodding to the political instability of the time and echoing this turbulent era.
The design blended history with modernity, reflecting both the roots and the relevance of the music. We rolled it out across all print and digital materials, from brochures and banners to online graphics and social media.
A thought-provoking identity for a festival looking both back and forward, rooted in the past and aware of the world changing around it.
