Prague Spring 2026

Interactive Brand

The idea behind the visual identity for the Prague Spring campaign was clear from the beginning: to create a living identity for a music festival that brings the city of Prague to life for one month.
The central element of the brand is the iconic logo by František Muzika — the letter “f”, a symbol of Czech design. By animating it, we aimed to highlight its musical character and give it new life.

The letter “f” is divided by a thin line referencing musical notation, while the brand typeface Quarz, with its extended serifs, suggests the feeling of being written directly into a score.
Another key cornerstone of the brand is the definition of a distinctive “spring” blue.

The campaign is meant to function like a melody, with each message acting as a chord that deepens the story.

This is where the interactive layer comes into play. The graphic motifs — grounded in the connection between music and spring — offer a wide range of visual forms that can evolve over the years.

For the first edition of the new cycle, abstract floral elements grow directly from music, evoking the elegance and fragrance of May.

The graphics are procedurally generated through musical play or movement — such as the motion of a conductor’s baton or a bow. Another layer allows visuals to be created from live audio recordings or even photographs of the performer. The result is a consistent visual language that extends across the entire visual spectrum of the festival.
