Gretel reimagined the Philadelphia Art Museum’s identity to reflect its renewed mission of openness and community connection. The new system blends heritage and modernity through a revived griffin emblem, custom typography, and a flexible design architecture extending across print, digital, and environmental applications.
The Brand Identity’s feature, presented by Frontify, explores Gretel’s rebrand of the Philadelphia Art Museum. The project modernises the institution’s identity while embracing Philadelphia’s vernacular culture, culminating in a redrawn griffin logo and custom Fairmount Serif typeface. The collaboration highlights strategic alignment, cultural immersion, and a shared ambition to make the museum more accessible and locally resonant.
