Design Bomb Festival
Design Bomb started as a networking event and, in this new form, explodes into a festival: three days, from May 22 to 24, 2026, dedicated to design in all its forms, in the heart of Catania, Sicily.
The brief was clear from the name itself: capture an explosion of energy, ideas, and people without falling into the obvious. We took the word "bomb" literally and built an entire visual language around it, a concentric multicolor star as the heart of the system, a bold, dynamic wordmark in Frama by Pangram Pangram, and a family of stickers to tell the story of every speaker, every sponsor, every moment of the festival with the same energy and personality.
The system had to be solid enough to hold together dozens of different applications: badges, lanyards, t-shirts, the wooden crate, the program, the activation designed with Caffè Moak. But flexible enough to let every piece carry its own small explosion of personality.
The result is an identity that doesn't just communicate an explosion, it is itself a continuous explosion.
