Rebranding
FilmFest Hamburg is sharpening its visual identity: Hamburg-based brand and design studio Hansen/2, which created the festival’s logo about a decade ago, has now refined its visual language. At the heart of the new look is the bond between film and celebration, the very things that define the festival: cinema, community, local roots, and a global outlook.
