Dublin International Film Festival
Dublin International
Film Festival
This identity for the Dublin International Film Festival reflects the city’s vibrant film community, encompassing directors, actors, and audiences, while also paying homage
to Dublin itself. The logo incorporates elements that represent different aspects of filmmaking and storytelling—clapper board-inspired shapes reference production, ellipses symbolise screenwriting, and a rectangle reflects the silver screen. These elements come together to form a castle, a nod to Dublin’s coat of arms, seamlessly connecting the festival’s identity to both the art of cinema and the city’s cultural heritage. The visual language extends across print and digital applications, reinforcing a cohesive and recognisable presence for the festival. The result is a bold and meaningful visual system that celebrates film and the community that brings it to life.
