Have you seen it? The Nevada Museum of Art has a new image.
Organizations and corporations refresh their visual identity every few years as a matter of branding practice and the Museum was due for a bold new look when they commissioned Brad Bartlett Design, a world class design studio from Los Angeles to create a new visual identity. After Brad and his team flew in for several meetings with staff and board members, they came up with six different designs. The Museum staff chose a combination of two of those selections: a unique and bold “N” created just for the Museum and the seventeen letter form word-mark. The combination of these two designs allow tremendous flexibility while maintaining the Museum’s identity.
2009 Museum Membership Card displaying New LogoAccording to the Museum’s Annual Report, “The Museum’s new identity is inspired by geothermal mapping...the pattern used on the new membership card translates the mapping of potential energy from Northern Nevada’s landscape into a graphic form. The use of metallic silver ink acknowledges Nevada’s mining history and its heritage of being a silver state.” Although the Museum is slowly rolling out the new logo, a variation of it has already been spotted in a variety of places; the A+E Conference, new membership cards, Museum store items, Museum letterhead and a new exterior sign which will be installed by late August of this year.
Thanks to the largely pro-bono gift from Brad Bartlett’s Design, the Museum’s dynamic new identity now coincides with its future aspirations.
