Glasgow International 2026 Visual Identity

The visual identity of the festival forms part of a project by artist Matthew Arthur Williams and graphic designer Maeve Redmond. Originally commissioned by GI for the 2024 festival, the project results from research into the social and material histories of Glasgow’s environment and architecture. The visual identity for GI 2026 is a continuation of this collaboration. It is developed through a series of examinations, observing the artefact as object. Using material that is tethered to the social and material histories of Glasgow’s environment and architecture, the two have produced a still-life tableau of the city, which again reflects the works in progress currently being created for the festival itself.
