The museum logo, with several variations, is by graphic designer Hattori Kazunari.
A distinguishing characteristic of the logo is an “H” element, standing for Hirosaki, at the top that extends for the length of the name’s text. The “H,” which extends and contracts in accordance with text, indicates the axis of time, evoking the Brick Warehouse, which stores the memories of local residents, being transformed into an art museum and flourishing in the future. All or some of the letters ascend from left to right, conveying an image of moving around the museum, and also relating to movement of the heart and mind uplifted by encountering art.
