Jersey Opera House
Sing for supper
Project overview
The Jersey Opera House is one of the island’s most iconic cultural landmarks, a stage for world class performances and a symbol of Jersey’s artistic life. Following significant renovation, the Opera House needed a refreshed brand to mark its reopening. The challenge was to create an identity that honoured its historic past while signalling a bold new chapter of creativity, inclusivity and energy for audiences of every age.
Strategy
Our approach was to design an identity rooted in respect for heritage but ready for the future. We focused on modularity and adaptability, creating a system that could flex across everything from high art to comedy, from digital platforms to physical signage. The strategy was to balance elegance with accessibility, ensuring the Opera House felt both prestigious and welcoming, able to connect with the entire community it serves.

Project details
At the heart of the brand is a marque inspired by the Opera House’s distinctive façade, abstracted into a geometric form that conveys both structure and creativity. This sits alongside a clean logotype that elevates “Opera House” as the primary name, with “Jersey” acting as a confident sign off. The marque was designed to expand into patterns and modular elements, making it a living visual system that can adapt to diverse contexts and moods.
The rollout brought this language to life across promotional campaigns, digital platforms, and environmental graphics. From posters and banners to merchandise and wayfinding, the identity combines clarity with expressive energy, reflecting the full spectrum of performances the venue hosts. The result is a brand that is proud of its past, but vibrant, flexible and engaging enough to carry the Opera House into its next era.
“The new identity has given the Opera House a confident, contemporary voice while celebrating its rich history.”
