The Challenge

How might we represent the festival's core values—diversity and inclusion—without relying on overused Pride symbols? How can the visual identity stand out while staying authentic and celebratory?

The Approach

To convey the energy and unity of the festival, I combined diverse shapes and vibrant colors into a cohesive system that celebrates difference through harmony. The resulting identity reflects a bold, welcoming spirit that resonates with both local and global audiences—without leaning on clichés.
