The end of an era, the beginning of a new one: RONDO is going digital—and we’re shaping the future

For us at das formt, this is more than just a project report—it’s a heartfelt tribute to the print magazine and, at the same time, a launchpad for digital innovation.

For two decades, we have been working with RONDO Magazine for Classical Music and Jazz. We have shaped, guided, and continually refreshed the brand, defined its typography, developed its editorial design, and brought each issue to life. The final print issue was published in December. An emotional moment, but not a farewell—rather, a transformation.

From Paper to Interaction

From now on, our focus is 100% on our digital presence. As an agency, we didn’t just design the rondomagazin.de website—we played a key role in developing it.

The shift to “digital-only” opens up entirely new creative horizons for us and our readers:

• Multimedia storytelling: Where print had its limits, we now harness the full power of images and sound online.
• New Formats & Podcasts: The editorial team’s expertise is brought to life through new sections and audio formats.
• Dynamic Design: The editorial design evolves from static pages into a responsive experience that translates the elegance of the classics into the digital modern era.
  

Our Philosophy: Shaping Change

This case study perfectly illustrates what we stand for: we preserve a brand’s identity while guiding it through technological upheavals. We believe that high-quality journalism and excellent design can have an even greater impact in the digital realm—through interactivity, speed, and new media formats.

We look forward to continuing RONDO’s success story online. The stage is set.
