Almost, But Not Quite
以上與未滿
第17屆草草戲劇節「以上與未滿」充滿曖昧與抽象的挑戰性。經過多次的探索與聚焦，最終以顏色與筆觸展現形態的過渡狀態，強調那種不上不下的微妙平衡。在多方嘗試與篩選後，選擇在抽象與具象之間找到平衡點，並以「#草原 」為意象基底，勾勒出曖昧不明的氛圍。
標準字設計上，刻意遮掩部分區塊，以掩飾的手法呈現一種不直白的態度，卻仍保留基本的可辨識性。整體設計語彙呼應主題的「卡在中間」，體現一種既扭捏又過渡的階段感，宛如介於確定與不確定之間的張力，讓觀者感受到其中的深意與層次。
動態設計運用雙色草原意象層疊，象徵白晝與夜晚的曖昧過渡，巧妙展現卡在中間的模糊狀態，細膩傳遞主題所強調的灰色地帶之美。
The 17th Grass Stage Festival, “Almost But Not Quite” plays with the beauty of being in-between. Colors and brushstrokes show a state of transition, while the logotype hides parts of its form—clear yet obscured.
The design balances abstraction and figuration, echoing the tension of being neither here nor there. In motion, layered grassland tones shift between day and night, capturing the subtle gray zone where ambiguity comes alive.
