Cottage Road Cinema, a symbolic identity inspired by its iconic windows.
Cottage Road Cinema
A self-initiated project rebranding the iconic independent Cottage Road Cinema in Headingley, Leeds. We drew inspiration from the architecture of the building. Our experimentation aimed to place the new symbol derived from the windows on the front of the cinema at the very core of the identity but more importantly creating an approachable & fun visual language.

Digital world & formats that tomorrows generation are familiar with - Tiktok, Youtube & Instagram into an abstract adaptation of the the letter “O”.
Large headlines and clean typography were used to enhance readability and visual appeal.
We focused on ensuring that the brand mark reflected Observatory Studio's name and created a cohesive visual language.
The symbol needed to be hand-drawn and rough, while still working in harmony with polished high-fashion, technology, and homeware imagery.
We focused on a flexible brand mark and typographic treatments, highlighting Observatory Studio’s insights and manifesto over a fixed wordmark.
