PROJECT
Catalyst 2026
ROLE
Art Direction - Visual Identity
SCOPE
Logo - Key Visuals - Social - Merch
The story is rooted in expansion - individuals, teams and disciplines accelerating upward and outward to create amplified impact. At its core, the identity represents the catalytic spark that drives transformation: bold, confident and full of potential.
The system turns one upward gesture into a logo, a spatial motif and a visual world that can expand across every touchpoint - from stage-scale key art to social teasers and merchandise.
01
[ THE IDEA ]
A SINGLE SPARK. AN EXPANDING IMPACT.
We set out to create an identity that embodies growth, momentum and the power of ideas scaling together.

02
[ RETRO FUTURISM ]
Optimistic geometry from the past,
scaled into a visual language for the future.
The recurring bands turn the A into more than a letter. It can become a portal, a path, a horizon or an object in space - giving the campaign a recognisable device that remains flexible across formats.

Growth & Trajectory
Boldness & Scale
Expansion & Momentum
The upward focal point represents the catalytic moment - the spark that drives elevation and progress.
The substantial letterforms command space, while their widened stance signals stability, confidence and scale.
The layered lines behave like shockwaves: one action creating a wider, resonant impact and continuous movement.
04
[ THE LOGO UNIT ]
A heavy wordmark establishes confidence. The layered A concentrates the story into a single, ownable signal.
05
[ THE COLOR SYSTEM ]
THE FOUNDATION
Midnight Navy
#0A0E6C
Authority and infinite scale. The deep field suggests a horizon rather than an endpoint, giving brighter elements room to ignite.
THE CLARITY
Soft Cream
#FFF9DE
Vision and sophistication. The warm off-white feels more approachable than pure white while maintaining crisp contrast.
THE SPARK
Electric Ember
#F6041A / #FB871F
Energy and action. The red-orange pairing carries heat, acceleration and the active force that disrupts the status quo.
06
[ THE FOUR PILLARS ]
The stylised A functions as the visual anchor of the identity.
Its layered, upward-expanding forms can be reoriented without losing recognition, allowing the same gesture to communicate four ideas.
07
[ KEY VISUALS ]
The mark grows into a monumental object - part portal, part landmark, part promise. Across environments, the same form creates awe without losing the identity.

[ SCALABILITY TO DIFFERENT DESIGN THEMES ]
Designed with long-term longevity in mind, the system allows the core brand mark to adopt distinct aesthetic themes year after year—delivering visual novelty while maintaining instant recognition.

[ MERCH ]
FROM SYSTEM TO OBJECT
The identity remains recognisable when it leaves the screen.
Midnight navy becomes the product field, while the Electric Ember mark holds the focal point. The result feels like event merchandise without becoming a disposable event graphic.

[ CONCLUSION ]
AN IDENTITY
BUILT TO MOVE.
One gesture becomes a logo, key visual, teaser system and wearable world. Every application extends the same upward motion - cohesive without becoming static.
