Description

Preussische Schlösser und Gärten Zeichen

The mark for the museum shops at the Preussische Schlösser & Gärten was inspired by a table-top designed by the Prussian architect and urban planner Karl Friedrich Schinkel. The combination of a neoclassical ornament and a typeface that first graced the Trajan column in ancient Rome lend this mark its friendly authority.

Client information

Preussische Schlösser und Gärten

The Stiftung Preussische Schlösser & Gärten is responsible for running and maintaining 21 stately houses and gardens in Berlin and the surrounding region of Brandenburg.

When the friends of the Schlösser & Gärten set up a company to run museum shops at the various sites, Thomas Manss was commissioned to develop an identity that would reflect the grand nature of the properties.
