One whistle, many stories.

Logotype sheet and F4 poster

A self-initiated brief: imagining the visual identity of a museum devoted to the whistle. The idea was to play on incongruity, showing the object in unexpected settings while keeping an identity that stays instantly recognisable.

A police officer holding a party whistle became the starting point for the poster. The switch creates an absurd situation and catches the eye at once, while the band across the top takes the shape of the whistle’s mouthpiece, giving the identity a recurring graphic element.

Red and blue, in clean and vivid tones, sharpen the playful, off-key character of the whole.
