The Art of Mola: Celebrating Culture Through Design

In true celebration of Panama’s heritage, the graphic design for Premios Juventud 2025 is inspired by Mola, a traditional textile art form crafted by the indigenous Guna women of Panama. The event’s logo and key art, designed by Eduardo Bragin, a talented Panamanian artist from TelevisaUnivision’s Art Department, creatively integrates Mola patterns into a modern, playful design, perfectly capturing the spirit of both the awards show and the country itself.

This year’s Premios Juventud will not just be a night of music—it will be an artistic homage to Panama's rich cultural history.
