Event Case Study: CoreOS Fest

Unique Challenge: This was my second conference for CoreOS. Branding takes time…a lot of time! We decide to try something new with our biggest conference! I was to design a repeatable and memorable brand identity specifically for CoreOS Fest. This system would be built upon and augmented with supporting graphics year after year but would keep some elements the same. This way we could foster brand equity while having room for fresh secondary elements each new year. It was more up-front time, but worth it for each following event.
