Pavel Šťastný, an artist and the author of the Civic Forum (abbr. OF in Czech) logo, painted a picture OFF with a red star instead of a smile in O about a month preceding elections, thus predicting their outcome.
The recent results of the 2021 elections leading to the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia not entering the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic for the first time in 32 years since the Velvet Revolution is the dreamed culmination of a specific historical stage for many people.
From the painting, Pavel Šťastný created the OFF logo published on October 13 on the front page of Deník N.
A projection of the image and animation of the OFF and OF logos was created on the building closing Národní to celebrate November 17, symbolically concluding 32 years with the Communists in the Chamber of Deputies.
