THE CHALLENGE: MAKE IT FUN
We reviewed the previous years festivals key visuals and they didn’t have the flex to feel like a festival brand. We agreed with Beacon that longevity and consistency to the festival needed a broad appeal for kids aged 3-9.
We set out to transform the festival’s identity by crafting a brand that was brimming with personality and character.
THE OUTCOME: BURSTING WITH FUN TOO MUCH FUN AAHHH FUN FUN FUN
Our creative approach centred around designing a lively troupe of charismatic characters, each symbolising a different aspect of the festival's offerings. From music and dance to art and play, these characters became the heart of the Hoo-Ha! identity, making the festival’s spirit tangible and relatable.
We brought these characters to life with a touch of animation that was used across socials and digital screens throughout the venue.
The new logo lockup builds on the Bristol Beacon brand font, reimagined for the festival with a compact, kid-friendly design that prioritises clarity and legibility. Paired with vibrant colours, dynamic shapes, and playful typography, the rebrand ensures Hoo-Ha! feels as joyful and energetic as the festival itself.
The result? A reimagined identity that doesn’t just welcome families back – it invites them to dive headfirst into a world of fun.
