Case Study: Shorts Film Festival achieves a distinctive film-inspired identity with Warriors Studio

Shorts Film Festival welcomes 2,300 films from 96 countries with Warriors Studio

The customer, Shorts, an independent short film festival based in Glasgow, required a complete visual identity. Warriors Studio was engaged to develop branding that would be effective across both print and digital campaigns for the festival.

Warriors Studio created a distinctive identity inspired by film and cinema. The solution incorporated illustrated media control icons and utilized GT Cinetype, a typeface based on cinema subtitling machines, alongside a custom set of numbers that mimic motion in film. This cohesive visual language successfully supported a festival that welcomed over 2,300 film submissions from 96 countries in 2016.
