Praline replicated the scaffolding structure of the exhibition in the logo, centred around a horizontal line. The neon’s pink and white, and its use at the largest possible size on all materials make it exciting, urgent. On site, a two-metre high logo is flanked by Naomi Campbell firing machine guns. Inside, the section dividers act as manifestos rather than information boards. Flashes of pink punctuate the dark space created by Ab Rogers Design, guiding the visitor every step of the way.
The exhibition brochure was, like a cheap political pamphlet, printed on a web-press. Reflecting the feeling of immediacy created by the show and SHOWstudio’s belief that the outcome of their explorations are not necessarily as important as the process.
Praline also designed all marketing material – from large posters for the tube to animated web-banners – providing this hugely varied and exciting exhibition with a strong and cohesive brand.
