Zut alors! A bunch of brilliant work from French agency Zoo

“Each project is an adventure,” says French design agency Zoo. And their enthusiasm shows – the work on their site is fresh, dynamic and brilliantly executed. The visual identity for Musique en Ville, a multi-venue event run by Rosny-sous-bois city council, manages to be hip without losing all-ages appeal, and is adaptable across any season or touchpoint. “We aimed to express ideas of a party and a travelling stage while leaving room for imagination,” says Zoo. “The images show one area with several spots of light; each word is the central point.”

In other music-related work, the designs for the book Art et Musique are wonderful: a simple, bold typographic mark set off with a strange suited man, caught mid-way through some sort of jerky, David Byrne-esque dance move. Zoo created a “musical typographic game” for each chapter, using large titles to “bring music and rhythm to the layout.”

Zoo has only been around since 2013, and if what it’s achieved already is anything to go by, great things are afoot.
