The first illuminated characters, primarily created for big-city entertainment enterprises, consisted of electric bulbs arranged to form the outlines of letters. BVH BDot imitates this idea and is a perfect fit for KOSMOLINO, the children’s program of Theater KOSMOS in Bregenz, Austria.
From the website of designer Anuschka Fink (translated from the German):
Hubert Dragaschnig once said:
“A theater production requires many different stars – whether it’s the office, administration, stage design, music, acting, directing, technical crew, wardrobe, makeup, etc. – and when all of these serve the same sky, namely the author and the play, a cosmos emerges.”Inspired by this, I designed a graphic concept for both Kosmodrom and Kosmolino. The two visual identities were meant to share similarities while still remaining distinct and striking. The stars – or the light – of the stage backdrop became a key design element. Reduced to a single “dot,” it symbolizes the stars of the theater cosmos.
