Signal, made visible.
The OSCILLATE identity is an oscilloscope: a ring that shows whatever waveform is passing through the site. Everything else — type, colour, motion — is tuned to read like voltage.
Identity system v1.0 · Nov 2026 · Internal + partnersThe ring and the wave
The mark is a scope ring with a waveform passing through its centre; it never sits still — on screen the wave morphs between sine, square and sawtooth on a 7‑second loop. The wordmark is set, never drawn: OSCILLATE in Unbounded 800, tracked +0.02em, with the ’27 tag in Space Mono.
Three signals
The wave carries meaning. Sine is the resting state. Square is the announcement state. Sawtooth is the rising state — on‑sale, doors, last call.
The default. Calm, continuous, ambient.
Used in the lockup, on wristbands, in the footer and anywhere the brand simply needs to be present.
Announcements, lineup drops, stage signs.
Hard edges for hard news. Pair with Unbounded 800 at display sizes.
On sale, doors open, last call.
Only for moments of urgency. Never on two consecutive communications.
Void, Acid, Ultraviolet, Signal
Four colours, no tints. Void is the room; Acid is the signal; Ultraviolet is the atmosphere; Signal is what you read. Blend modes (difference, screen, multiply) are allowed and encouraged — gradients are not.
Wide, plain, monospaced
Unbounded carries the volume. Space Grotesk carries the argument. Space Mono carries the data — times, coordinates, capacities, prices — always uppercase and tracked.
Snappy, stepped, strobe‑free
Motion is the brand’s voltage. Every move is short and decisive; reveals are quantised like a sample rate; nothing flashes faster than 3 Hz. Click a card to replay.
power4.out · 0.6–0.9 s
Entrances, hovers, button backgrounds. Fast out, long settle.
steps(5–9) · 0.5–0.7 s
Headline reveals, wipes, countdown digits. Quantised, never eased.
ScrambleText · 0.6–1.2 s · chars 01▮▯/\|_-
Labels, loader words, nav hovers. Text resolves from noise.
MorphSVG · power4.inOut · 0.9 s · hold 1.6 s
The wave cycles sine → square → saw. Only the logo morphs.
ScrollTrigger scrub · Lenis lerp 0.11
Pinned manifesto, drawn site map, filtered lists. Scroll is the clock.

Autoplay stops, scrubs become fades, layout never changes.
Cold, dark, high contrast
Photography is lit by the show, not by the photographer. Silhouettes over faces, beams over LED walls, concrete over décor. Desaturate 30–50%, push contrast, let Ultraviolet multiply over the shadows. Never warm, never smiling at camera.
In the wild
Three places the system has to work at once: a poster seen from across the street, a wristband seen at 2 cm, and a stage sign seen through haze.
