SCOPE

concept
logo system
brand identity system
design of promotional materials
Our goal was both simple and challenging: creating an unobtrusive brand identity that is highly adjustable, flexible and resistent to constantly changing trends. A frame for the vast variety of artistic and historical collections of all the units of the Museum.
The main logo is a base for an open logo system, adjusting its form to all current and any future institution of the National Museum in Gdańsk.
KEY VISUAL
Key visual is strongly related to the idea of a logotype. The elements of the logo creates a flexible frame, adjusting its form to the vast variety of the Museum's historical collections and adapting to different formats. Our objective was to create a system that will be organized enough to systematize all the materials of the Museum, yet modest enough not to overwhelm with its form so the very first role is given to the art depicted.
MAKING OF
We have also prepared a short video showing the backstage of the project.
