The Dallas Museum of Art celebrates creativity, curiosity, and connection through art. The rebrand embraces a playful, vibrant identity that reflects the museum’s interactive and child-friendly spirit. Designed to engage a younger, more dynamic audience, the new visual language captures the museum’s commitment to innovation, accessibility, and hands-on learning—inviting visitors of all ages to explore, imagine, and create.

The approach centered on reimagining the Dallas Museum of Art with a renewed sense of creative energy and public engagement, while honoring its institutional legacy and cultural significance. The process extracted revitalized brand values that balanced the museum’s reputation for artistic excellence with its evolving commitment to interactivity, innovation, and child-friendly experiences. At the heart of the rebrand is a newly designed geometric logo—a modern sans-serif wordmark that conveys professionalism and structure, yet retains subtle personality and warmth. Its form reflects the museum’s dual role as a respected cultural institution and an accessible, engaging space for visitors of all ages. Supporting this is a lively campaign built around playful shapes, expressive visual elements, and dynamic typographic treatments. These design choices work together to communicate the museum’s values of discovery, inclusivity, and creativity. The strategy involved not the creation of a new persona in the conventional sense, but the foundation for a progressive brand evolution that positions the Dallas Museum of Art as a more interactive, welcoming, and emotionally resonant destination for its diverse and growing audience.
