After competitive analysis, there’s clear there’s a need to find a unique point that will differentiate this museum against another museum. So I do brainstorming to find the most interesting facts around museum.

Facts • •
Sunday, 14 August, 11
Most people go to museum for recreational rather than pure educational Getting people more interested in arts are much easier when they tried it themselves
With these two facts, it’s pretty clear that what our points of difference will be that this museum should be also a community place where visitors can get down and dirty experiencing and experimenting art.

The Big Idea
Art lab
Sunday, 14 August, 11
Art lab means that it is a place where visitor can experiments with art. It can mean that they experiment for the first time, or just go there because they want to continue with what they are doing.
Sunday, 14 August, 11
Name Exploration
Sunday, 14 August, 11
The name of the museum should reflect it’s ‘get down and dirty’ experimenting spirit. I start the naming process by opening the dictionary and thesaurus. Finding the synonyms and meaning of the words will show possible words that can be use.

Final name
Kitchen-sink
Sunday, 14 August, 11
Kitchen-sink are words that is often use to describe eclectic mix of a lot of thing. And since contemporary is an art style that in essentially a compilation of dozen other small art movement, kitchen-sink became the perfect name for a contemporary museum.

Three direction
Sunday, 14 August, 11
Minimalist
Sunday, 14 August, 11
The idea behind minimalist is to let the museum as a canvas of the artwork.
Sunday, 14 August, 11
Vector
Sunday, 14 August, 11
Vectored style is used to generate a clean and precise feeling
Sunday, 14 August, 11
Organic
Sunday, 14 August, 11
The idea between organic is to have a feeling where it is okay to be messy and dirty, that this place is the place to get messy and dirty.
Sunday, 14 August, 11
Logo exploration
Sunday, 14 August, 11
In logo exploration, I tried to play with custom made fonts and hand written fonts to implying the organic feeling.

Sunday, 14 August, 11
This exploration did not end well as these type of logos are hard to be applied in any items. In the end, it was decided that making a word mark then treat them with paint will be the best way to go. The exploration below are the experimentation that I made to get that word mark.

Logo variation
Sunday, 14 August, 11
Now that the word mark is done, it’s time to make the logo. I tried to directly combine the paint into the word mark, but it will make installing the logo will be hard later on. In the end, it is decided to make two versions of logo, a coloured one and a word mark.
