• Experience always wins the day: the Los Angeles MOCA new logo

    MOCA new logo

    Mid-May, the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, the MOCA, announced a new visual identity for the museum that finally turned out to be...the very same logotype than the MOCA had in the 80s. The one before the change that gave birth to the current logotype.

    Very astonishing a decision I must say! It's not that common that a brand makes its logotype evolve toward a past one. No way to find explanations, no press release easily accessible on the web. i'd be very interesting to understand such a decision. Everyone could have noticed a 80s revival started in 2009, maily brought by the street culture. But still. Can't be the reason for such a choice, can it? 

    Besides, the museum has already announced they were working on the new logotype (the old one then, please follow me) that might slightly evolve...So big announcement in the Los Angeles Times about a new logotype that is the old one, that you can't see applied so far on any communication issued by the MOCA (have a llok at their website), but finally that logotype might not be completely the new one...

    I'm quite lost I must recognize. Which is a pity, since museums that do consider brand as a valuable tool to get more audience and go to next level can be really creative when it comes to global branding. Remember the New Museum of Contemporary Art in Brooklyn, NYC, the MAD museum in NYC or the Museum of London. A very interesting survey about Museums & Brand I encourage you to read here. I'm a big fan of museum brands!
