Description

OYU Festival is one of Kazakhstan’s leading music festivals. Each year, its identity evolves to capture the energy of the moment. The challenge for 2025 was to refresh the festival’s visual system — to present OYU Fest in a way that felt new and exciting, while staying true to its DNA and instantly recognizable spirit.  Paritet Buro introduced a universal symbol: the flower. Simple yet powerful, alive and flexible, the flower speaks to everyone. It evolves and grows, just like music. In art direction, the flower became a dynamic system of forms — bold shapes, vivid colors, and motion that translate rhythm into visuals. The new identity is both striking and fluid, structured yet free, reflecting the pulse of OYU Fest’s sound and community. The refreshed identity amplified the festival’s cultural impact and visibility nationwide:
2 315 389 audience reach, 559 493 content interactions,  25 000 festival guests. With its 2025 identity, OYU became more than a festival. It became a blooming cultural symbol of Kazakhstan’s music scene.
