The graphic identity of the BMW Guggenheim Lab includes an interactive logo created by graphic designers Sulki & Min from Seoul, South Korea. Unlike traditional logos, Sulki &
Min’s design will grow and change through audience interaction over the
course of the BMW Guggenheim Lab’s first two-year cycle. Just as the
BMW Guggenheim Lab will be a space for the exchange of ideas, its logo
will become the metaphorical and virtual representation of worldwide
interaction with the theme of Confronting Comfort and the larger
discourse about cities and urban life.
