Takamatsu Art Museum Symbol Mark ／ Logo (Created in November 2015)
Takamatsu Art Museum Symbol Mark / Logo
The symbol mark of the Takamatsu Art Museum is based on the acronym, TAM,
which is viewed as the cityscape of Takamatsu and the scenery of the islands of the Seto Inland Sea.
The tallest 'T' is the Symbol Tower, and 'A' and 'M' are the landscape of the islands.
As the Takamatsu Art Museum has come to be known as a world's leading art zone thanks to the Setouchi Triennale, we believe it is meaningful to symbolize the landscape of the city and the sea.
This design evokes images of the land that embraces the islands of the Seto Inland Sea in the minds of local residents as well as people around the world and those who are originally from Takamatsu.
By combining symbol mark and logotype, it looks as if the sceneries of the sea and islands are transforming in different ways.
We hope its effectiveness will be revealed as the logo develops in various media including print, signage, and on the web.
