Case Study
Shaping the Atmosphere of Cathedral Sessions
BRAND NEW VISUAL IDENTITY
Cathedral Sessions is a series of unforgettable live performances at magnificent Cathedrals throughout the UK. Each session showcases exceptional talent from various genres, encompassing DJ Sets, contemporary compositions, and praise songs featuring bands and solo artists.
Cathedral Sessions needed a striking brand identity that could bridge the grandeur of historic UK cathedrals with the vibrancy and energy of live performances aimed at younger audiences. The project demanded bold visuals, modern typography, and an overall aesthetic that would make cathedrals feel like contemporary concert venues.

Historic cathedrals reframed as concert venues

03
Vibrant colour for a younger audience
04
Respectful of the sacred setting
Where sound meets the sacred
I created a dynamic brand concept featuring vibrant colors, contemporary graphics, and a custom logo. The logo cleverly integrated a sound equalizer motif—symbolizing music—with a hidden cross to nod to the sacred cathedral context.
01
A system for every part of the night
Colour-coded banners for live music, worship and food and drink help audiences find their way while keeping the brand cohesive.
02
Tickets that set the tone
Admit One ticket designs bring the gradient identity into the audience's hands before the first note is played.
03
Built for the event itself
Accreditation passes, VIP lanyards and wristbands extend the system across the practical side of running a live event.
04
Ready for social
Posts announcing artists, like a DJ set at Truro Cathedral, carry the same energy online to reach younger audiences where they are.
Youthful, energetic, adaptable
The resulting identity is youthful, energetic, and adaptable. It succeeds at attracting and engaging younger demographics while preserving the majestic and spiritual undertones of cathedral settings.
