Think

The absence of a defined brand image for this brand-new venue was hindering its emerging reputation and potential impact. It was therefore essential to develop an identity that would reflect both the richness of the building and the vision of the Township: to create a cultural space that is contemporary yet deeply rooted in the community. Erod led a strategic reflection to craft a coherent, accessible and inspiring visual language — one capable of bringing together artists, audiences and municipal stakeholders around a shared vibrant space.


Create

Given full creative freedom, Erod developed a modern brand identity that captures the spirit of the venue. The visual identity reflects both the warmth of its heritage and the vitality of its programming. Designed for versatility, the graphic environment works seamlessly across all platforms while preserving a strong visual coherence. The result: a distinctive identity for Lakefield Cultural Space. Both grounded and open to design and resonate with a diverse cultural audience.


Display

The brand new identity was deployed across a variety of media — posters, digital platforms and signage. Each element contributes to the venue's visibility and its connection to the local community. Lakefield Cultural Space now stands out with a strong, flexible and distinctive identity that is perfectly aligned with its cultural mission.
