CONCEPT
This is a visual identity design for an imaginary Bacteria Museum. The use of playful colors conveys that bacteria are not necessarily all bad but that there are good bacteria as well. I wanted to make this museum children-friendly so that they could come explore and have fun at the same time. The logo was created in an organic form with handwritten letters, relating to the ever-changing forms of bacteria. My inspiration came from the four most common bacteria in our living houses. The circular forms are meant to depict bacteria as seen through a magnifying glass.
