[BCMA] NEW LOOK! BC Museums Association Launches New Brand Identity

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Congratulations on the new look.  It is fresh and modern and I think will be
excellent in conveying museum's dynamic nature with a harken to the past.

All About the Brand!

Introducing a New Look for the BC Museums Association


Today the BC Museums Association is excited to launch our new brand identity.
The BCMA is reinvigorated and, with both eyes focused on the future of the
association, we're excited to share our new logo, look and feel. 

   

The BCMA Council and staff decided a year ago that a refreshed organization
required a refreshed identity. We started with a brand discovery process
involving past and current members of Council. Owl, our values, and our
58-year history proved strong, as did a sense of adventure, and the
story-telling that has always been a part of who we are. 

 

The results were work-shopped into a Brand Brief that articulated our
personality and purpose: to connect, lift, and share. From this we knew that
our new logo needed to be vibrant and warm with a sense of community, but
also forward-looking and contemporary, yet classic. A tall order -- but we
think we nailed it! We are proud to launch our new logo today on our website
and social media platforms:

How do you interpret the logo? The orange M suggests a loop of past and
future; infinite possibilities; connections; shared experiences;
caring/stewardship; and elevation. The colour is vibrant and full of energy.
The lettering is inspired by Art Deco and Futurism as well as that era's
hope/optimism for the future. The capital Ms, with their added pillars,
indicate stability, while being unique and timeless.
