- The Atlantic transforms 169 years of print into festival branding
The Atlantic’s in-house design team created the 2026 Atlantic Festival identity by digitising and recombining 169 years of archival magazine ornaments, borders and mastheads. The system pairs imperfect, black archival-style graphics and Garamond/Atlantic typography with vivid colour fields, while Mallandrich developed layered ocean-inspired motion for animated applications.
- The identity for Spatial festival feels aptly three-dimensional
SMLXL and motion designer Gerard Mallandrich collaborated on the identity for Spatial Festival 2025, an immersive sound event at Berlin’s Funkhaus. The project integrates motion and spatial depth as core design principles, resulting in a kinetic, three-dimensional brand system. Using 3D scans, cinematic techniques, and a clean typographic approach, the identity reflects the festival’s experimental and interactive nature.
