The People’s Museum Qatar Brand Manuel
1
Welcome For more than 171 years, the People’s Museum Qatar name has embodied excellence in museum collections, scholarship, education, and historic, artistic, and scientific exploration. During that time, the breadth and depth of our work has steadily expanded. We have become an increasingly international institution, and our museums, research centers, and educational divisions have forged their own strong identities. Understandably, many people outside the Institution are not aware of all we are and everything we do.

A brand is more than just a logo. And a logo is more than just a mark or symbol. A logo must work with other design elements to seamlessly adapt across colors, dimensions, and uses. This is called a logo identity system. The People’s Museum Qatar has created a logo system that is flexible enough to be broken apart or used in totality, depending on the design need.
