Distributed Museum
An cultural journey through the arts


The visual identity of a museum fusing
the arts
with Japanese culture
A distributed mobile museum using Japanese airports hosted by The Agency for Cultural Affairs. Artists captured the beauty of local cultural resources from a fresh perspective at the entryway to the world, or airports. We were responsible for the museum’s overall visual look and symbols, logomark and identity design.

Layering and Blending the Key Visual
We used a Temari, a traditional Japanese handball handmade with countless layered threads, as our motif. The final visual composed of intricate fine lines creates a beautiful gradient that represents culture and art weaving together. This was expanded into multiple variations, which is illustrative of the diverse possibilities the museum holds.

Translating the key imagery into a symbol
For the new museum to become widely known, the key visual and logomark were developed to give a consistent impression. The logo turns its long name into personality, creating a typeface that illustrates digital technology supporting media art.




A bold logotype that visually captures the power of innovation.
Turning length of the name into personality, emphasizing the characteristic proportions was intentional.


Key visual simplified into a logomark without losing the original imagery
