Overview

Colossus hosts concerts, corporate events and festivals, and runs its own festival JAR and the JILT party series. The brand book gives all of them one voice: a monochrome palette from white to graphite, a logo that is never recoloured and headlines that mix upright and italic type.

Six seasonal colours let the brand change its clothes between seasons without losing its face; every use of them is agreed with the identity authors.
