The BTHVN2020 logo

As befits Beethoven’s powers of innovation and the wide variety of the Jubilee celebrations, the BTHVN2020 brand supports a so-called ‘liquid branding concept’. The logo can be adapted and varied to suit any activity, and thus loaded with different themes. The logo derives from Beethoven himself: when he signed his scores he sometimes omitted the vowels and wrote ‘Bthvn’. 

The BTHVN2020 brand was developed by the Beethoven-Haus Bonn and Jung von Matt / brand identity (www.jvm-bi.de) with the assistance and at the initiative of the communications expert Helmut Andreas Hartwig.
