01 / Weave

Start with
the connections.

Weave is the visual concept behind SFF 2026. Interlacing strands form a language of connection: individual threads remain visible, while together they create a larger form.

That idea runs through the key visuals, supporting motifs and campaign applications. I shaped the visual system and creative direction so each expression could have its own character while belonging to the same world.

The compass gives Weave a focal point. Woven texture meets directional structure, creating a recognisable hero image for navigating a financial system in change.

A thread through
every expression.

Weave / Supporting motifs

The supporting motifs carry the visual concept into backgrounds and text-led layouts, including applications that use no compass.

Five topics.
One visual language.

02 / The festival topics

The festival explores Technology, Policy, Geoeconomic, Capital and Talent Rewiring. Weave gives these topics a shared visual language: each has a distinct symbol, formed from the same interconnected threads.
