The Bolshoi Theater – Logo design
The State Academic Bolshoi Theater of Russia, more commonly known as the Bolshoi Theater of Russia, is both historic and noteworthy in terms of its design and architecture. Located in Moscow, it holds ballet and opera performances and, to this day, remains to be one of the most famous and revered landmarks of Russia.
It also houses the Bolshoi Ballet and Bolshoi Opera, which count as one of the oldest and biggest ballet and opera companies in the world. Basically, the Bolshoi has become like a brand that is distinctly Russian. Therefore, there is a need for a logo that will embody its beauty, grace, and history. Art Lebedev took up the challenge.
It’s a no-brainer to incorporate the design of the facade of the theater itself in the logo. It boasts the image of the building designed by architect Joseph Bové.
Of course, a logo is supposed to be versatile, representative of the object of brand it represents, no matter what variation it is subjected to.
Even when subjected to colors and borders, the main image should still stand out.
Of course, nothing beats the impact the logo makes against a clean and white background, mostly used for formal purposes.
