The Columbus Museum Branding
(Re)Birth of Cool
The Columbus Museum has always been a major attraction for the community of Columbus, GA. With a major renovation underway, introducing new features and spaces, their team decided it was time to take its visual identity to the next level, and reintroduce the museum to the world. Boasting an expansive and eclectic collection of artistic and historic objects, it is a place where a whole lot comes together.
The different letterforms in the icon represent the holdings of the museum which span from the rather classic to the challenging. It is an interpretation, just as is any artistic endeavor, and is meant to stir feelings and create intrigue. Representing an institution of such distinction means not being afraid to be, for lack of a better term, distinctive. This mark is built to stand out in a sea of sameness.
