Hooray! The first part of the design work for this years Phono festival in Bergen is done, namely the website and other digital goods. The feedback so far has been just great, so I hope it will still look awesome in a few months time, at the festival itself.
The biggest part of this first launch is probably the logotype revelation. I had a pretty heavy process to arrive at this tape-inspired thing you see up top, and expect to see a lot more of the outlying graphical elements in the upcoming posters.
Go check out their website, which I based on a layout from WPshower, and tweaked to fit. They also have a facebook page that you should click like really hard on.
More parts of the design will be visible as the posters and everything start rolling out.

After a full year in use, I’ve given the identity system of Nabovarsel a thorough analysis, to see what works and (more importantly) what doesn’t.
You can see the whole process in great detail at Behance, I’ll keep to the highlights here:
- consolidate the “full circle” version and the simple “N” version into a more unified form, usable in any size and media
- Solidify the form to be more robust, as the hearline of the current version is to frail
- Enable a more unified typography, with only one typeface used across the entire system, and a more settled logotype.
Updated combination mark. Unified the width in the emblem, and used an edited Neutra text Demi for the logotype.
Paragraph text. Neutra text book.

Hope you like it! If you do, hop on over to Behance and give me a thumbs up =)

It’s time for the big reveal! After the better part of six months of work, the finished visual profile for Bergen’s finest music and art collective, Nabovarsel, stands erect. It’s been a hoot working on such a project, and as you can read over at Behance, a windy road to the finish. I’m really happy about the finished product, and the client were as well, so nothing’s better.
Sorry for not showing the logo right in your face here, but it would be kind of a spoiler. It’s more fun to see the whole process!
See the whole project at my Behance portfolio!
Feedback are also very appreciated, if you have an opinion I would love to hear from you in the comments.
