The logo of the BFO depicts a stylized version of the orchestra layout, as musicians are seated in a semi-circle around the conductor standing in the middle. All the instruments and the colorful line-up of diverse personalities exude music.
The logo the BFO uses today was designed by Attila Auth in 2007, in response to a call for submissions. The multi-colored dots have taken many forms over the years; today, to mark the 40th anniversary, they appear in gold. These changes have never bothered Attila, however.
“The attitude of a designer is the same as if it was their own child. At first, he feels entitled to look after the child’s care and upbringing and then, after a while, even if he would still like to keep that ‘cute little fluffy white dress’ on her, she’ll want to get rid of it and have something new. That’s the time to let her go and take her own path. It is the same with the logo with the dots. The essence will remain, of course: the dots, the meaning everybody understands and the reference to the flow of music.”
