Cena Oskára Čepana, established in 1997, celebrates visual artists under 40 years of age, regardless of medium. Prior to 2016, each annual edition lacked a unifying visual system, with every year operating independently in style and identity.

Our task was to develop a connecting element and flexible system that could unite future editions while maintaining room for unique styling each year. The result was an iconic logo—now the foundation of every subsequent identity—that serves as a recognizable and timeless symbol of the award.

In 2016, we not only created this enduring logo but also styled the year’s theme as part of Studio 436, setting the stage for the award’s refreshed and cohesive visual narrative.
