Olivier Awards

For over 11 years, FORMAT.LDN has created motion graphics and broadcast design for the MasterCard Olivier Awards, one of the most prestigious events in the theatre calendar.

The collaboration began through AKA, following the awards’ 2011 relaunch, before evolving into a direct, ongoing relationship with the Society of London Theatre. Across more than a decade of ceremonies, FORMAT.LDN has helped shape the Olivier Awards’ visual language on screen, delivering broadcast-ready nomination packages, animated titles, live event graphics and supporting digital assets.

Each year, the work is carefully developed to sit seamlessly alongside the wider campaign, from printed materials and stage design to social media content and broadcast output. This ensures the Olivier Awards maintain a consistent, premium identity across every touchpoint.

Over the course of the partnership, FORMAT.LDN has led three major design evolutions, adapting the motion system to reflect changes in the ceremony, set design and wider visual direction. From nominee packages and transition graphics to looped screens, performance backdrops and social stings, the work has continued to evolve while retaining the elegance and stature expected of the event.

The result is a long-running creative partnership built on trust, consistency and attention to detail, supporting the Olivier Awards with a cohesive visual identity across live, broadcast and digital platforms.
