We redesigned the logo, incorporating playful typography and an inventive illustrative style. Drawing inspiration from Fishtank Theatre’s irreverent persona, we introduced a whimsical family of fish characters, seamlessly integrating them into the marketing materials. We employed stream-of-consciousness language to mirror the theater’s collaborative ethos and commitment to innovative content. This revamped brand authentically encapsulated the essence of the nomadic performance company, successfully rekindling the interest of existing audiences while attracting new enthusiasts to the unique world of Fishtank Theatre.
