Great events aren’t built overnight—and neither is a strong visual identity.
From our logo and event artwork to the icons and overall design language, we’re constantly refining the way BSides Bratislava looks while staying true to what matters most: a community-driven conference, built by and for the cybersecurity community.
The images below capture part of that journey—from where we started to where we are today.
Each edition has its own personality, inspiration, and visual style. As the conference evolves, so does its identity, reflecting new ideas, lessons learned, and the creativity of everyone who contributes to making it happen.
Looking back at previous years is a great reminder of how far we’ve come—and an exciting glimpse of where we’re going next.
Design is never truly finished. It’s a continuous journey of improvement, and every new edition is another opportunity to create something even better.
🚀 Stay tuned… for BSides Bratislava 2027 theme.
🏆 The custom jacket for the 1st place winner of the CTF challenge at BSides Bratislava is finally ready!
