The previous full name, Krakowskie Biuro Festiwalowe (Krakow Festival Office), became too limiting. We decided to use the acronym KBF in communication, expanded as culture, business, festivals.

The new logo directly references the previous, recognizable, and successful symbol. The focus remains on the acronym, which is easy to pronounce and remember, and will now be used in communication as the sole name (without other simplifications such as “Biuro” or “Office”). The previous star-shaped asterisk has been replaced with a colon, opening up a long list of KBF’s activities and competencies.

From the old colors, we retained orange. Navy blue was replaced with a more universal black. The colon, with additional signs, became the leitmotif of all informational and promotional materials.

New visual language of KBF

We designed typography, graphics, templates, and a set of rules for creating subsequent projects implemented or commissioned by KBF.

The rebranding of KBF also includes a change in written and spoken narrative.
