New logo: Asian Art Museum


Yesterday, September 27, the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, launched a new brand identity at a press conference. It was created by Wolff Olins. The new look can already be seen on the museum's website.

The new logo consists of an upside-down letter A, usually flanked by the word Asian. In mathematics, an upside-down letter A is read as "for all", and the museum says it "communicates the museum's desire to engage all":
"We were attracted by the museum's ambitious vision and desire to build a brand to unlock the potential of its vast collection and thought leadership.
