2009 London Jazz Festival

Now in its seventeenth year, the London Jazz Festival (LJF) has grown from a showcase of local talent to a world-class event spanning ten days of what are surely life-affirming sounds. There are a couple of reasons why we are turning our attention to the LJF today. The first is that, well, it's a striking identity job by London based IWANT Design, who created what amounts to a visualization of the various sounds and energy emanating from the festival. The second is that I first saw this work right around the time we were covering scribble-heavy identities like Telecom and Burnley and my first thought was that this is how a scribble-heavy identity is supposed to be made. It's not only a graphic feast but it serves a conceptual purpose that fits the mood and audience of the festival, and is not just some randomly generated scribbles that happen to look like fun.
