Stulberg International String Competition
Since 1975, the Stulberg International String Competition has discovered and launched some of the world’s most accomplished young string musicians. More than a competition, it’s a legacy in motion—uniting performance, mentorship, and community to help artists under twenty step onto the global stage. With growing international prestige, Stulberg needed an identity system that could match the level of excellence it represents.
The Objective
Circa partnered with Stulberg to elevate and unify its brand identity—refreshing the logo, messaging, and digital presence to better reflect its stature. Deliverables included a brand style sheet, verbal identity guidance, and high-fidelity website designs, ensuring the competition presents itself with the same refinement and vibrancy as the artists it celebrates.
From Kalamazoo to Carnegie—launching young musicians onto the world stage since 1975.
