2019

For the 2019 event, a hand-lettered script was paired with a typewriter font to represent the storytelling theme. The script was created and animated in Procreate.

The mailed invitation for the 2019 event featured a die cut design representing the shape of the building at the Washington Park branch. It was unusual for the event to be held at that location so we made it a prominent feature in the design.

2020

The 2020 event was held via zoom due to the pandemic. It was important to keep a sense of fun a magic with the branding while highlighting the virtual format.

Animated versions of the logo were used in digital promotions, the event website, and during the virtual event itself.
