Two sides. One identity.
St. Anna Children’s Cancer Research Institute combines a deeply human mission with advanced science. Its audio identity connects the urgency of helping children with cancer with the precision and curiosity of research.
One theme. Many expressions.
The concept was developed jointly by Michael Dörfler and Helmut Stekl. A shared musical theme takes different forms for emotional films, research communication, conferences and symposia — distinct in character, recognisable as one identity.
Composition, sound design and audio production by Michael Dörfler.
The identity, condensed.
The sound logo brings warmth, hope and scientific discovery together in a short signature. The examples below explore the wider identity, from intimate piano to cinematic arrangements and extended soundscapes.
