variations on a theme
the symbol conveys the essence of the museum: a collection of different objects and subjects under one roof. the letter logo is an s, its internal form varying from collection to collection, while its outer form remains constant – like the museum’s constant central theme: its relationship to the city. the institution’s name and the city both begin with an s, and the letter logo is constructed so as to create an outer s and an inner s. the outer s can be read as standing for the place and the building, the inner s for its content, the objects. these two letter shapes vary in form for each application, the variations conveying the diverse scope of the collections and showing that this museum is a living entity.
