For Crystal Kids’ 2026 events, I developed a series of distinct visual identities connected by a shared psychedelic aesthetic.
Each event has its own palette, central character and atmosphere. Surreal figures, intricate textures and expressive typography bring the music’s energy into the artwork, while a clear hierarchy organises the artist line-ups and event information.
The collection brings together Twilight Zone III, United Beats Records Label Night and Twilight Zone IV, showing how the visual language changes from one event to the next.
TWILIGHT ZONE IV
For the fourth edition of Twilight Zone, the identity moves into a violet and chrome world, created for a twelve-hour psytrance event in London.
A futuristic figure anchors the composition, surrounded by translucent forms, swirling textures and flashes of luminous colour. Metallic lettering echoes the figure’s reflective surfaces, giving the title and artist line-up a strong presence within the dense imagery.
The portrait poster and landscape event banner use different arrangements of the same visual elements, preserving the atmosphere while adapting the information to each format.
ABOUT THE VISUAL DIRECTION
The 2026 identity pushes the series into a more refined, dimensional space:
• darker palettes and ritual undertones
• sharper geometry and symbolic architecture
• layered atmospheric textures
• consistent modular layouts across platforms
• a balance between underground futurism and psychedelic storytelling

The outcome is an identity that feels unified but alive, expanding as each event is announced.
As the season progresses, I will continue expanding this page with:
• Full social media rollouts
• Story formats and reels
• Extended promotional tiles
• Event-specific variations
• Experimental visuals developed with the organiser
• Additional events for London and Manchester, and maybe Turkey

The goal is to build a cohesive, recognisable visual ecosystem for Crystal Kids 2026, one that deepens the brand’s presence across scenes and platforms.
