Built in 1947 during the Portuguese dictatorship and closed in 2001, after many historical events and failed atempts to rebuild it, cinema Batalha reopened in 2022, after a renovation project by two local architects, bringing back its charm to the city of Porto. It now offers a range of subliminal, auteur or underground movies, cultural experiences and even artistic workshops.

The new visual identity was created by local design studio Macedo Cannatà, managed by Maria João Macedo and Dário Cannatà. The new visual identity uses a minimal yet playful style of typography, using Theinhardt Standard and Semi Condensed for the logo and multiple applications. The type family by Swiss foundry Optimo references the work of Berthold and Neue Graphik, adding a clean and modernist aspect to Batalha.

In 2014, Studio Eduardo Aires (then White Studio) had the opportunity to design and implement a visual identity for the city of Porto, Portugal. The main logo, set in A2 Regular ExtraBold with a full stop, makes a statement, reflecting the authenticity, straightforwardness and attitude linked to the northern city and its people.

The blue represents the pure, unmistakable connection to the sea, the northern cold and the Portuguese azulejos. This strong personality is also shown in the iconography and subsequent illustrations used, inspired by the blue tiles that cover many historic buildings.

The visual identity includes a dynamic, grid-based system that adapts to different applications. It was implemented in public transportation, uniforms, porticoes of events, outdoors and even tattooed.

Created in 2011, Semibreve is an electronic music and digital art festival in Braga, a Portuguese city that is gaining traction and attention for its cultural, artistic and public social projects through entities like Theatro Circo, gnration and Braga Media Arts.
The responsible organization, AUAUFEIOMAU, entrusted the creation of a visual identity to united by, a design studio led by Miguel Palmeiro. The consolidation and finalization of the project was achieved in 2024.

Combining an International Style typography, a neo-modernist grid, fluid and digital backgrounds and a variety of mediums and visual effects, unitedby achieved a simple yet contemporary and subliminal graphic language.
