Concept
Campaign: Bring the partnership between Director and IMAX on Filmed for IMAX titles to life by fusing IMAX and Film IP through bold and reductive design that achieves high level of stand out in the cluttered in-theatre environment.

Doctor Strange: The Multiverse of Madness – Place the IMAX logo at the center of the multiverse shattering the different dimensions, showing multiple versions of the IMAX logo, all inspired by textures taken from Dr. Strange: TMOM.

NOPE – Central to NOPE is the idea of holding a mirror up to society in general and, specifically, about people exploiting tragedies for profit. This idea is at the heart of our execution with the IMAX logo at its center.

Antman & the Wasp: Quantumania – Like the movie itself, our brand burst is set in the Quantum realm, with not even the IMAX logo unable to withstand its harsh environment.
