Appearing under the title slogan „Selecheted by Đelo Hadžiselimović“ , his choices of worldwide documentary serials and programs are long ago regarded as a brand. This so far, that the slogan is being used in many other cultural activities: in the Theater for the blind, by the music group STillness and so on, under the expression „All I know about life is – selected by Đelo Hadžiselimović“.
