In late 2015 Bangor Museum and Art Gallery relocated to the site of the former Bangor Town Hall originally the Bishops Palace. Commissioned to consult on a name for the new building we set to work, with the usage of the building as a starting point - the brand had to represent the primary dual uses of the building as a Museum and Gallery. The museum recants stories of the past and the gallery displays current work - Stori and Oriel were combined to form the new word STORIEL. We took the varied shapes of the spaces to create a character identity for the building - the colour palette was developed form source materials relating to the building's original purpose.
