GALLERY NEWS
Sariev Gallery is pleased to announce its new identity!
It was created by the Bulgarian graphic design studio PUNKT and is based on the gallery's experimental and non-conservative structure.
It's aimed at presenting a system that communicates freely and removes the hierarchy, where the most important thing is to have the character of the gallery in its entity, rather than emphasizing a particular identity element. The result is a system that is both neutral and distinctive, whose tone is simple but attractive.
The font used for the main elements is Gabriele Fumero's Opale and for additional elements in the communication is used a font by Bulgarian designers - Attractive.
