Baden-Württemberg Music Centre signage system
Description
fulsome harmony
when a music association wants a visual identity, the best approach is to go straight to the heart of the matter – in this case, music. this involved looking at how music is written down and translating that principle into a typeface. the diverse forms and symbols of different musical notation styles were used to develop a new system perfectly attuned to the subject in hand. job done. ta-da!
the building is architectural music, the alphabet an extended cadenza, the typeface a motif in c sharp. the wayfinding panel is a polyphonic phrase, the room number a soft arpeggio, the mural a fantasia for brass.
