ProjectDanse123
Danse123 is a French podcast dedicated to contemporary dance — its voices, movements, and presence in everyday life. The identity draws from the manifesto’s poetic rhythm, capturing dance not just as performance, but as conversation and presence.

At the center is an abstract logo that evokes a dancer mid-motion — fluid, expressive, and open to interpretation. Paired with a clean geometric wordmark, the design balances structure with spontaneity.
A vibrant pop-inspired color palette energizes the system, referencing stage lighting, emotional nuance, and cultural vibrancy. The modular layouts and bold contrasts echo the podcast’s dynamic and multilingual character.

Danse123 becomes more than a title
it’s a visual stage where movement, language, and identity come to life.
