Ukrainischer Ball

The Ukrainischer Ball is a charitable project that introduces Austrian audiences to Ukrainian culture. It serves as a platform for cultural diplomacy, networking, collaboration and fundraising for charitable initiatives.

This year, the Ukrainischer Ball will take place for the first time at the Hofburg — the former imperial residence and one of Vienna’s most famous historic venues. This is a significant milestone in the project’s development, which speaks for itself.

It was important for us to create a visual identity that would match the scale of the event, fit in with the aesthetics of classic Viennese balls, yet retain a Ukrainian character.

The new visual style is based on Ukrainian cursive script. The letterforms for the Ukrainischer Ball inscription were created especially for the project by Bohdan Yaremchuk. They also formed the basis for the ornamental frames, which draw on the design traditions of classic Viennese balls.

For Spiilka, this is a charitable project. We are delighted to be part of an initiative that raises the profile of Ukrainian culture around the world.
