What can you expect when spending the day with us?

DOOM rebuilt in CSS, an accessible canvas game, 25 years of fast, accessible train times, motion used responsibly, lessons from a chicken restaurant, a greener web, the question of whose utopia the web serves, and finding purpose in a shaken industry.

2026.ffconf.org - Between layoffs, AI hype, and a barely-recognisable industry, many of us in tech are wondering: now what?

From Our Archive

Sixteen events has also seen 16 event designs and logos. A conscious design choice by Remy from the very start has enabled us to adapt to our changing industry and world.

16 logos for FFConf, each with it's own colour and style
Each logo had their own story

The logo started with the original plan was to simply change the colours, but quickly Remy realised that wouldn't be enough to play with, so the shape started to change.

Then the logos start to have back stories:

  • 2013 was a Super Meatboy vs Street fighter designed by Geri Coady
  • 2014 was inspired by the CERN hack day Remy did in 2013 recreating the LineMode Browser
  • 2015 was the Stars Wars vector arcade cabinet
  • 2016 was rooted in the community that had joined us over the years
  • 2017 was based on the ZX Spectrum after Remy backed the ZX Spectrum Next (and fell into a rabbit hole of his childhood)
  • 2018 is the bubblegum, bright and full of joy, designed by KT Coope
  • 2019 inspired by Heydon Pickering's brutalist design style
  • 2022 was based on glitching - which is how Remy's head felt after the pandemic and lockdowns
  • 2023 is based on paper chains
  • 2024 was the year Remy and Julie watched a lot of The Morning Show, so that crept into the design
  • 2025 came from the Retrowave trend that had been knocking around
  • 2026 inspired by paper 'zines from the 90s after watching The Running Man (2025) credits

The vast majority, unless stated, were designed by Chris Mahon (along with our web site) 🫶
