Festival of Britain 1951



Ended the Elizabethan journey regrouping everyone after the war. Became tradition making ancestors proud.
1962 "You've never had it so good" Projecting positive image/ building moral/ increasing popularity.

Nation as a family - Metaphor/ portraying a message.

Logo

  • Bunting - fair, party, celebration
  • Helmet - classical
  • Compass - directions
Designed by Abraham Games the logo was used all over. 
After war everything was black with coal - festival was designed to be colourful and bright.
A lot of contempory art was included such as sculptures to help people to look to the future.
