SYMPASYMPO 23: Breaking Point

Visual identity, exhibition graphics, animation and publication design for the third edition of the Czech student ceramic symposium SympaSympo, hosted by the Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art, Pilsen. Porcelain begins as a fluid slip. It is poured, then it sets, and then it is fired into a brittle final form. The identity for SympaSympo 23 takes this transformation literally — the wordmark emerges from organic, liquid pours that solidify around the type. The form is not drawn; it is left behind by the material itself.
