North Atlantic Museum
Exhibition Branding Proposal
Exhibition Branding Proposal
The North Atlantic Museum in Copenhagen is expanding. The museum board is looking to incorporate a new, creative exhibit teaching Danish locals of all ages about the underwater ecosystem of the North Atlantic. The design team held an open design call for a visual identity to represent this exhibit. My proposal was selected as a finalist from 30 entries.
How can I create a dynamic brand identity that entices both children and adults across languages to visit the exhibition?
The project was selected as a finalist from 30 entries 🏆
I began this project by researching, collecting data, and finding creative inspiration in my environment. I discussed business goals with the museum board and found that the greatest needs for this design were consistency and accessibility for families.


I then began to iterate, sketch, and play around with some ideas. I created a precedence map to demonstrate how the exploration of a few of these questions led to my final product.
Once I defined my guidelines, I was able to begin the deliverables to present to the board. This included UI for the Tranhuset app, a social media post, and some printed graphics.













Mascot

Wayfinding

Signage
Decision: Minimize type and maximize global symbols and vector based design elements Why: Since the design directors wanted an identity that is recognizable and engaging across language and culture barriers, utilizing solely the kelp, Jellyfish, and name of the museum keep the design relevant and inclusive and reduce potential confusion
This design concept for Tranhuset encapsulates a true balance of organic versus orthogonal geometry, helping to convey the unique species of the North Atlantic through a clear and simple system.
