The concert brought together Western classical music and Indonesian musical traditions, showcasing original works by Vishnu Satyagraha, including Yarra Code and Aluna Digdaya.
More than a musical performance, the program celebrated a decade of artistic exchange between Australia and Indonesia, highlighting the role of music in fostering cultural dialogue, creative collaboration, and people-to-people connections.
THE LOGO
The logo is inspired by the progression of a symphony, it moves through distinct phases, building from quiet, reflective moments to powerful climactic peaks. The stepped arrangement and varying typographic scales create a recognizable visual structure that reflects this sense of progression. The ascending form visually represents movement through different emotional stages, culminating in a strong and memorable finale.
Symphony is a journey with emotional movements. It has several phases progressing from the lows to the highs or otherwise. It is reflected on the logotype by using multiple font sizes and laying it out as a step.
COLOR PALETTE
The palette was inspired by the ocean and coastal landscapes shared by Australia and Indonesia. The combination of deep blue and coral creates a distinctive contrast that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. Like two musical voices performing together, the colours maintain their individual character while strengthening one another through contrast, expressing the connection, exchange, and harmony at the heart of the concert.
