F i n a l l y we are allowed to spill the beans and let you know that Napa Agency is an official sponsor of Manse Pride 2026! It’s an honour and joy that is to be spread and something to shout about!
A year quickly flew by since Sinuiksi ry contacted us with their quest for a dazzling visual identity for one of the most colourful events of the year in Tampere. Manse Pride defends equal rights for gender and sexuality minorities. As part of the sponsorship, our star talent Ville Salonen delivered stunning visuals in a colourful palette, reflecting joy and hope as this year’s theme! And with the combined forces of our entire agency, we’re onboard, rooting for human rights and equal treatment for all!
Who exactly is the great skill behind the visuals of Manse Pride 2026? Great minds think alike, they say, and already by request of Sinuiksi ry, Ville Salonen was the one for the job. Ville has a track record of amazing illustrations and visual concepts, not to mention a range of sympathetic character designs that he has brought to life.
Although cool as a cucumber and a solid professional, Ville is easily approachable and has a heart for planning and will care for every detail to be in place in his designs. His work speaks for his skills and willingness to take on diverse audiences and treating all with dignity and respect. Some of Ville’s works to mention are the variable characters for Red Nose Day® which Napa Agency has also been a sponsor of.
The vivid visuals for Manse Pride 2026 are packed with colourful and celebratory vibes that speaks of inclusivity. The logo stands for love and diversity. The visuals also convey some of Tampere’s recognizable features such as the Satakunta bridge, held dear to the citizens of the city also known as Manse.
Manse Pride is an annual cultural event in Tampere, organized during 8–14.6 in 2026, that each year gathers thousands of participants from the area and the entire country to celebrate human rights and equality. The event has been organised for 12 years and running by Sinuiksi ry, Finland’s oldest rainbow association.
