" Especially, the brand name seeks to the Museum's legendary structure, considering its own evolution coming from an authentic neoclassical layout by McKim, Mead & White to its moves toward modernism in the 1930s, to recent tasks that have made even more available as well as inviting areas. The brand name employs these factors from our past as well as joins all of them with our identity today as a modern company," it proceeded.
The company logo was made through Brooklyn-based graphic design center Other Method, along with help coming from the museum's internal visuals designers.
But carries out introducing a brand-new logo design in vivid colours across different types of signs, digital projects as well as stock correspond to a brand recast? Maybe certainly not when the "brand new" design is eerily similar to the 1972 Massimo Vignelli Bloomingdale's company logo, which likewise features the trademark dual 'o' ligature. Without any important attention regardless thus far, the new redesign have not as yet created the sprinkle the museum was relatively hoping for.
