Quotes

  • The parameters were mainly centred around ensuring that the festival felt inherently ‘MoMA,’ using the brand guidelines as a base to sketch from.
  • We kept shapes super geometric, colours restrained, and were careful to balance all the fun with readability and accessibility.
  • Bringing in ‘exploring eyes’ felt like a nice way to nod to children and the festival’s themes.
  • He’s really into make-believe right now. Our lounge room rug is often lava, he’s rebranded broccoli as ‘trees,’ and he can make portals to anywhere from a cardboard box.
  • We came up with a set of bold, graphic, otherworldly characters representing lifeforms of all kinds.
  • Bringing in a sense of playfulness was crucial – a big part of the festival’s purpose was to inspire kids to imagine their own natural worlds through play.
  • It had to avoid overly-cute smiling in place of wide-eyed wonder, and adopting rudimentary animation that felt understated in tone, rather than childish.
  • We had a really fun time working out ways to bring the games to life through illustration, creating a really wide range of odd little moments, from grumpy apples to giant matchbooks.
  • The tone of Le Puzz as a brand is really optimistic and happy, and yellow, in almost every culture, represents these things most.
  • We first presented it as ‘The Chunky, Changing One,’ and Le Puzz immediately gravitated towards the letterforms moving around like puzzle pieces.
