Berliner Festspiele

Visual campaigns for the Musikfest Berlin

The Berliner Festspiele Orchestra Festival - organised in cooperation with the Berliner Philharmoniker Foundation - is the spectacular start to the Berlin concert season every year in late summer. Top international orchestras, instrumental and vocal ensembles present an ambitious festival programme together with the major symphony orchestras of the city of Berlin, each with a different thematic focus.

Since October 2022, 3pc has been responsible for the conception, implementation and strategic support of Musikfest Berlin's visual identity. Based on the new corporate design developed by 3pc for the Berliner Festspiele, a separate space is being created for the campaign design of Musikfest Berlin.

Elementary components of the appearance are the present logo in the form of the word mark and the annually changing colour scheme, which in combination leave a lasting impression both in the cityscape and on the screens of the target groups. The collaboration includes the conception and implementation of the visual campaign and, in print, the design of posters, evening programmes, advertisements for newspapers and magazines as well as many other products such as libretti, XXL banners and displays.

Gestaltete Flyer und Plakate des Musikfest Berlin 2023 bis 2025, ausgelegt in verschiedenen Farben und Formaten mit großen Typografie-Elementen und Festivaldaten.

3pc's digital services include developing and animating the annual cinema trailer and adapting it for online distribution channels, adapting the campaign design to banner formats for websites and newsletters as well as static and animated applications for social media channels and online adverts.

The key requirement is always seamless applicability in both digital and analogue media. In close coordination with the Berliner Festspiele, user-centredness, accessibility and a clear reference to the Berliner Festspiele umbrella brand determine the design.

Projects with purpose

For over 30 years, we have been working with remarkable institutions from the education, science, culture, administration or business sectors. 

All our projects are based on common features: their demand for a high standard of editorial quality, their complexity and the fact that they are part of a greater societal change.

Throughout our work, an innovative and strategic outlook is key. At the same time, we have the highest demands on usability, design and the underlying technology of our work. All of these components must prove sustainable in the long term.

The projects that move us are socially relevant, they matter. At the same time, they enable and inspire us to try out new ideas and concepts.

In all contexts, we value a comprehensive understanding of the diverse organizational cultures of our clients. We know how to support employees in change processes and how to moderate cultural change.

We see consulting as a joint process in which we use co-creative elements as effective and active forms of collaboration. Our aim is to involve all relevant stakeholders in finding solutions in order to achieve an optimal result that will be accepted in the long term.

Awards

Our work has received many awards. We work on projects with journalistic standards and high benchmarks for design and usability. Thanks to these criteria, 3pc was awarded the Grimme Online Award as well as other prizes.

"In a world permanently surrounded by media and technical evolution our perception is changing, user interfaces - the interfaces between human and machine - play a key role. This is where the future is negotiated and where we help shape it.“
