About Artsmuzeum Branding
ArtsMuzeum is a brand identity created for an online gift shop that sells art related products. The identity links historical art with modern life. The logo pairs gothic yet bold letterforms with a squared frame that appears to continue without end. The name is shortened and arranged in creative blocks, and the letters are composed as a single graphic pattern built from positive and negative space. The concise and solid design is applied to the website, stationery and promotional materials.

- Production Technology
- With the spirit of sharing art with the public, the modern style logo is designed with a concise and solid pattern. The visual identity highly applies to the brand website, stationary and various promotional materials. ArtsMuzeum aims to get in touch with the local and international masses, and makes artistic products integrate into people's lives.
- Design Challenge
- It was finding the perfect blend of representing historical and modern art that not only captures an onlooker's attention but helps to understand how past and present art are forever intertwined.
- Project Duration
- June 2022 / New York City
- Operation Flow
- The masses could capture what ArtsMuzeum represents through the design's names, lines, and patterns. The name's visual appearance is strengthened by shortening its length and presenting it in arranged creative blocks. The lining of the logo is boundless, timeless, and modernized to help the audience recognize and understand the brand. Finally, the pattern of the text is a totem of composing letters, a unique imprint that hides the construction of negative and positive space, making the text graphic.
- Research
- ArtsMuzuem helps shape the audience's understanding of the arts and keeps distant works of art relevant. Since ArtsMuzuem is not an ordinary gift shop, existing only online, it was necessary to emphasize the historical nature of a museum and the convenience of selling delicate products to help keep historical art alive in modern society. While browsing the online gift shop, people feel like having a real-life experience of walking through a museum rather than just shopping. Essentially, creating more accessible ways for people to enjoy historical art in their daily lives, just as Artsmuzeum does, was the basis of its research and branding initiatives.
- Inspiration
- The ArtsMuzeum online gift shop collaborates with museums worldwide by blending historical and modern art to bridge the gap between the past and present. Drawing upon this idea, a logo is designed that visually represents the combination of historical art and modern society through its gothic yet bold fonts and seemingly infinite although squared frame.
