New siren sings for the Museum of Warsaw


The Museum of Warsaw (Muzeum Warszawy) is an historical museum located in the old town center of Warsaw. Formerly known as Historical Museum of Warsaw, it recently unveiled a new visual identity, developed by Warsaw-based graphic designer Ania Światłowska.

The new symbol features a highly abstracted version of a syrenka, a mermaid holding a sword and a shield as found on Warsaw's coat of arms. It should symbolise how Warsaw's past meets its future and communicate openness and modernity. The typography uses Good, a typeface designed by another Varsovian, typographer Łukasz Dziedzic.
