FICBUEU´s new logo

FICBUEU

The new proposal also includes a small name change and a new font

FICBUEU was born in 2008 with the intention of bringing the best of the short films closer to the public, growing progressively with each edition. 11 years later, the FICBUEU Cinematographic Cultural Association and the FICBUEU Social Area would be created, representing an important milestone in the evolution of the festival by strengthening its organization and expanding its activities throughout the year.

Since its inception, the original image of the festival was based on the Roman amphora of San Martiño de Bueu, an outstanding piece of the Massó Museum with symbolism and very representative of the area, becoming in turn the award for the winners.

This 2022 and six months before the 15th edition, the FICBUEU presents its new image made up of a name change, a new logo and a new typography that bring together the character of the festival and its context.

Although it will continue to focus on short films, the FICBUEU will be renamed the Bueu International Film Festival, encompassing all its activities and not just those related to the short format.

The new design of Uqui Permui brings together the essence of FICBUEU and links the logo to cinema and to the town, through its rounded shapes that represent the geography of the place.

The logo is also accompanied by a new typeface, called ‘Isaac Sans’ and created by Marcos Dopico. This new font owes its name to an artistic reference of our culture such as Isaac Díaz Pardo and is inspired by the typography of Sargadelos and the Laboratory of Forms of Galicia.

These three changes completely renew the image of the festival giving way to the 15th edition, which will be celebrated from September 11 to 24 and which will come loaded with new features in the program that will be revealed over the months.
