About Oil Street Art Space Visuel Identitet

Oi er den visuelle identitet for Oil Street Art Space, et offentligt fritids- og kulturcenter i Hong Kong. Stedet ligger i den tidligere klubbygning for en lystbådeklub og omfatter en fredet (Grade II) historisk rødstensbygning med tegltag samt et udendørsareal på over 3000 kvadratmeter. Navnet ersætter bogstavet L med et udråbstegn, der påkalder sig opmærksomhed og peger på lokationen. Logoets form illustrerer handlingen at kalde højt. Grøn er identitetens farve og antyder en oase for kunsten i byen. Identiteten anvendes på miljøgrafik og trykte materialer.

Production Technology
The visual identity of ‘Oi!’ aims to create distinctive and memorable brand that capture the essence of the project. The applications on environmental graphics and collateral to provide guidance to visitors to explore all parts of Oi! and to enhance the impression of Oi! to the public.
Research
Given that part of the premises is Grade II historic building, a range of research on historical premise transforming to public usage and old architecture revamp projects were conducted. After reviewing different angles, the client and designers would like to portray the brand image with Oi!’s vision and mission and to make art relevant in the community. Finally, we chose to use the name as the core element on the logo which also helps the audience to remember where it is located.
Inspiration
The 'Oi!' project aims to develop a visual identity that reflects the brand's core ideas. The name itself replaces the 'L' with an exclamation mark which serves as a call for people's attention and a visual representation of the project's location. The logo's shape is designed to illustrate the idea of calling out loud for attention in graphic form. The use of green as the identity colour suggests that 'Oi!' is an oasis for the arts in the midst of the urban jungle of concrete and steel.
Project Duration
May 2022, The Hong Kong SAR
Operation Flow
The visual identity conveys a welcoming and unifying ambience to all visitors and to deliver the message that it is a platform where the people can realise their dreams in art and igniting their creative spark.
