From Sometimes Always:
Béton is a pop music festival that takes place every summer in the French city of Le Havre. The city went through a long process of revitalisation after the WW2 bombing, hosting a mix of modern urbanism and brutalist architecture that can be found in the buildings such as the Volcano by Oscar Niemeyer, the apartment blocks and St. Joseph church by Auguste Perret, among many others.
The idea behind the graphic work is to explore a rigid grid that emphasises the brutal landscape of Le Havre, paying reference to the ortogonal urban planning, the patterned facades and also the diversity of the artists featured in the festival.
The identity is made with Right Grotesk by Pangram Pangram and Favorit by Dinamo.
