Look closely because it’s time to say goodbye to the old logo with its spray painted box…… and hello to our sexy new logo!
We are incredibly excited to reveal our new logo courtesy of the wonderfully talented Christopher Jay Designs who is working with A Friend of a Friend Productions this year.
We love how he was able to take our ramblings about supporting new artists, tight knit communities and a no nonsense attitude, and came up with this monochrome crowd motif.
As well as our awesome new logo, Chris has already been hard at work creating the branding for our slick new look, and streamlining the design for our 2014 Season – including the main event, site specific production Another Day.
Watch this space to see more from Christopher Jay Designs for A Friend of a Friend – there’s plenty more to come!
