Pràctica for Irvington Theatre

We love this new branding identity created by Barcelona/New York-based design studio Práctica, for Irvington Theatre. Located in the Hudson Rivertowns in New York and having first opened its doors in 1902, the theatre needed a new identity to revitalise their brand, draw attention to the wealth of events produced by the theatre and their arts partners, and bring the theatre firmly into the present day. Including a logo with a custom drawn typeface, Práctica have definitely delivered.
