How to identify the logotype

The name : L’identité visuelle se fonde sur l’adoption exclusive du nom “Festival de Cannes”.
The identity is based on one unique name "Festival de Cannes". All other name variants that employ the terms Festival, International, Film and Cannes are obsolete and are to be replaced by "Festival de Cannes".
The unique exception : "l'Association Française du Festival International du Film", the official legal name of the organisation.

The Palme : To ensure that the palm logotype conforms to the chart, it is recommended to use an original copy of the logotype file created by the organisers.
