NOT-SO-LITTLE WEDNESDAY
visual identity
2025
A vibrant visual identity for those hot (n’ cold) summer Wednesdays on the Siltanen dancefloor. The clips in the videos are from public domain PSA films from the 60’s, warning against the dangers of partying. While I 100% agree with the message of the films, when you just clip the moments right before everything goes wrong, the people seem to be having a whole lot of fun. It all felt way too perfect to illustrate those summer weeknights, where you are looking to have a good time, with just a touch of danger.
