Landestheater Niederösterreich Redesign Concept

•

01 - Corporate Design

The direction of the Landestheater Niederösterreich invited us to participate in the tendering for the redesign of its public image including a new logo, a complete branding, an external communication concept, an editorial design for several print media, a responsive web design, a redesign of theatre’s interiors and exteriors as well as a signage system and a marketing concept.

Our design concept is eye-catching, adaptable as well as playful and mirrors the variety of the theatre plays.

We decided to shorten the long name of the theatre for conceptual and design reasons and created an acronym. It is very well integrated into the entire concept and the diacritics also provide the key visual. Lively, variable, contemporary – those are some of the concepts guiding the redesign of the brand image.

We regret that our concept did not emerge as the winning one, but we would like to present our work nonetheless.

02 - Print Design & Packaging

As an additional visual element we added a cone of light, as light is not only the base of visual images, but

also an important component of a theatre play. The cone, in combination with the logo, is used as key visual

and together with the illustrations for the plays it forms the basic compositional element of the design.

The combination of the different elements, the matching typography and the reduced colours create a unique image for the theatre – modern and diverse, just as the plays are.

The series of icons for the individual plays sizes on the playful design and allows for creating print products while the plays are still being developed and current images might not be available yet.

03 - Webdesign

The web design is based on a mix of illustrations and photos and takes up the style of the print products. Our focus was on clarity and simplicity for a quick and easy order process. We adapted the website to mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, allowing for a flexible use.
