Posted by Gavin Lucas, 13 July 2011, 10:54 Permalink Comments (4)

Tramlines is a free, ticketless music festival in Sheffield that boasts seven outdoor stages, 70 venues and a line up of more than 650 performers. Now in its third year, the festival has a brand new identity, typeface and marketing campaign courtesy of Sheffield-based design studio Peter & Paul...
"We were appointed in an effort to raise the quality and effectiveness of the design and marketing," explains Peter & Paul's Peter Donohoe, who has also been appointed as the festival's creative director.

"We've designed a new identity and typeface, advertising and marketing campaign," Donohoe continues, "including a free daily festival newspaper, website, idents and motion graphics, merchandise and a city-wide poster campaign that features 65 individual photographs of Sheffielders young to old, punters to performers and includes a few of the city's most famous sons, such as Jarvis Cocker."

Double-take! For a moment I thought this was a Dutch festival because of the logo which displays an uncanny similarity to the logo of Dutch Railways: http://ns.nl/
It's probably not intentional but, being Dutch myself, I can't unsee it.

Its called Tramlines so I expect the rail symbol reference is very much on purpose. Looks fantastic — all works together effortlessly. Great job.

Very well executed, great use of typography throughout the full compaign. As for the Dutch coment, I think you should lay off the wacky backy! And get some stronger prescription glasses.
