Pentagram's Abbott Miller Designs New Identity/Branding for Barnes Foundation

Another bit of news about the Barnes Foundation, following a post we had up earlier in the week about the organization setting a date to open their new and controversial Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects-designed building in Philadelphia. Our friends at Pentagram have this week posted information on the branding and identity work partner Abbott Miller has created for the new location. The logo is based off of the coloring of Matisse’s Joy of Life, resulting in a muted but strong, modern orange, laid out in a form based related to Albert Barnes‘ sketches for the original gallery.
