The logo of the Munich Oktoberfest was honored in Frankfurt at the German Design Award 2023, one of the most prestigious German design awards. The signet, which stands for the largest folk festival in the world, received the "Special Mention" award in the "Excellent Communication Design" category.

Two years ago, the state capital of Munich managed to have the “Oktoberfest” brand internationally protected. In order to further strengthen the brand, a uniform appearance was developed in 2022 for the first time in the history of the Oktoberfest.

Particular importance was attached to the design of the logo: the curved letter "O" with its dynamic shape symbolizes the momentum and "spirit" of the Oktoberfest.

The result was not a single static logo, but a lively and flexible trademark, colorful with different color gradients - just as varied and colorful as the Oktoberfest itself.
