2020 Cultural Hub CAPITOL Cinema / Summer Theatre

visual identity

(work in progress)

Capitol Cinema (1938) with Capitol Summer Theatre (1915) is ruined site in the central Bucharest, damaged in the 1977 earthquake and due to forgetfulness. It has remarkable cultural potential and spatial characteristics, since it is located on a parcel between 36 Elisabeta Boulevard and 13 C-tin Mille Street. Recognising its social and educational potential to reactivate the community, Save or Cancel proposed a cultural heritage awareness and sensitization campaign that will draw attention to constellation of many abandoned cultural spaces in Romania. This proposal is response to an open call for visual identity of Capitol Cinema / Summer Theatre Cultural Hub, one among collaborative projects that Save or Cancel lunched in order to involve artists and the local community.

The proposed logo is inspired by the façade of the cinema designed by architect Henrieta Delavrancea Gibory in 1938. It is also a combination of several formats (1:1 as for Instagram, and video formats 3:4 and 9:16) aiming to draw attention that Cinema / Theatre Capitol is open to various cultural events taking form of discussions, projections, DJ and VJ sessions, workshops, etc.

Visual identity of Capitol Cultural Hub

{ ii }

(work in progress)

The visual identity focuses on the name of the Capitol Cinema / Summer Theatre as a recognisable cultural-historic site and brand. CAPITOL is therefore used without any additional references, for it is not to be only theatre and cinema, but a place where culture is being created through workshops, presentations, exhibitions, discussions, audio-visual events, in cooperation with local community.

The letter O in CAPITOL is transformed into stylised cinema screen generated from intersection of 16:9 and 4:3 formats. The rectangular shape is also reminiscent of film and prints, in particular of small formats, photographs and publications. The open centre of the form allows the name CAPITOL to frame within itself an image in the background. The letter O transformed into a screen frame can serve as icon for the cultural hub. As it is horizontal (landscape orientation), it cannot be confused with pictogram of telephone which is vertical.
