SIGNAL

Culture in transmission.

SIGNAL is an independent space for contemporary art, experimental sound and performance, a brand I created at OONA, the studio I founded. Arts spaces tend to speak in white walls and quiet serifs. SIGNAL treats culture as something transmitted, so I built an identity that behaves like a signal: it draws, travels and responds. The mark is a single signal trace. The system holds still in print, moves on screens and, on the website I designed and coded, becomes a field that visitors transmit into.

The SIGNAL identity on a large screen in a concrete hall

01 The insight

Arts spaces tend to speak in white walls and quiet serifs. SIGNAL treats culture as something transmitted.

The markA Lissajous figure: two signals plotted against each other and drawn as one trace.

The systemChrome dot fields rise and fall like a level meter, gradient slugs move like frequency and caps grids read like a schedule, all on a steel ground instead of the gallery white.

Across mediaIn print the system holds still. On screens it moves, and online it becomes a field that visitors transmit into.

03 Type system

Each programme bends the same type its own way, so a new season can be named without redrawing anything.
