CASE STUDY / BRAND SYSTEM

IMPROV THEATRE

SCENA U TRENU

Brand Identity & Creative Direction

An evolving visual system for an improvisational comedy theatre - from identity and social campaigns to the improv festival website, tickets, merchandise, outdoor and print production.

SCROLL TO EXPLORE

01 / OVERVIEW

Building a brand that can improvise

The identity needed to be memorable, but flexible enough to change with every performance, theme and audience.

Scena u Trenu is an improvisational comedy theatre. I created the original logo and broader visual language, then evolved the system across live shows, social media, special events, print, outdoor, tickets, improv festival programming, merchandise, a dedicated improv festival website and video content.

My role

  • Brand identity and logo design
  • Art direction and graphic design
  • Social campaigns and event promotion
  • Print design, preflight and production coordination
  • Photo retouching and compositing
  • Improv festival website design and build

02 / IDENTITY SYSTEM

A recognizable core, flexible by design

The master logo feels theatrical, energetic and comedic, while the variants shift tone without losing the brand.

One recognizable structure supports one-color printing, seasonal moments, children's programming and campaign-specific treatments.

03 / SOCIAL CAMPAIGNS

Consistency without repetition

Every show can have its own visual mood while recurring cues keep the theatre recognizable.

The library feels varied rather than templated - and still unmistakably Scena u Trenu.

04 / SOCIAL STICKERS

The theatre's voice in conversation

I designed character-led stickers combining cast portraits, short lines and familiar brand elements for everyday conversations.

The designs suit many messaging apps, including Viber and WhatsApp. The promotional artwork brings the collection together in one visual system.

The identity shifts with the occasion

The same brand adapts to humanitarian events, milestone performances and special venue needs.
