L’Alliance New York — Branding
Role: Motion Design, Animation, Tracking, Editor
L’Alliance New York is the home for all things French in NYC and beyond. Offering immersive French language classes and a wide range of multi-disciplinary programming, the independent non-profit organization celebrates the diversity of francophone cultures and creativity around the world.
Pentagram has designed a new brand identity framework for L’Alliance that highlights its dynamic and welcoming spirit. Expressive typography and an apostrophe brand mark nod to the institution’s engaging approach to language. The new look accompanies a new name for the organization, which was previously known as the French Institute Alliance Française, or FIAF.
I was approached by Pentagram Partner Eddie Opara from the New York office to develop animations for the L’Alliance New York branding system.
