30 years of creativity, innovation and inspiration: To celebrate its anniversary, Eyes & Ears of Europe is introducing a new logo, designed by Munich-based creative agency Umbruch.

The new logo builds on defining elements of the association’s previous logos while reinterpreting them in a fresh way. The result is a distinctive, clear and confident visual identity that honours the association’s history while looking ahead to the future.

Get a first glimpse of the new logo here. It will be officially unveiled at the 28th International Eyes & Ears Awards on 20 October at the ASTOR Film Lounge at ARRI in Munich. Umbruch has also created the design for this year’s Awards Show.

The Awards Show will therefore not only celebrate outstanding creative achievements across the industry, but also offer the opportunity to discover the new face of Eyes & Ears of Europe.
