Overview

The Museo Soumaya  is a private art museum in Mexico City founded by Mexican business magnate Carlos Slim and named after his late wife. Its main venue is a futuristic, modern, jaw-dropping building in Plaza Carso. The unique and striking architecture and the art collections housed here make up this museum just extraordinary.  The museum is committed to sharing its impressive art collection to the community.  it aims to be inclusive places—both onsite and online—where diverse cultural, artistic, social, and political positions are welcome. 

Solution

To successfully create a brand that is both bold and modern, I hand-lettered a custom logo inspired by the geometrical architecture of the museum's building. The brand uses a simple but dynamic color palette that represents its current and contemporary personality. The photography is minimal and simple to maintain the overall modern feel across the brand.
