Inventory, or the return to genius loci - the art of shopping
Mall with problems
The architectural project of 2007 was not fortunate in terms of its image. A lack of clear identification and information chaos within the center led to a diminished perception of the center as a product with specific standards. The center required (in 2010) the creation of a new comprehensive identity, giving it a new genius loci.
The history of the brand-place
The name of the center is directly derived from the name of the market that existed in this location before the facility was built. To emphasize and expand the semantic field, we referred to the district of New York – a place of strong contrasts, dynamic life, and modern art.

Simple things elevated to the status of icons transform our reality, making it more colorful and intriguing…

New logo
Created based on the font (Pop Manta) inspired by the silk-screen printing technique, popular among pop art artists.
Il. 1. The letter ‘A’ without a center – alludes to spilled ink in silk-screen printing, a popular pop art technique.
Il. 2. To reinforce the message, we raised both letters ‘T.’ This way, we achieved a reference to the Twin Towers, one of the most powerful symbols in the history of New York.


Il. 3. Logo before and after rebranding
The logo, inspired by pop art and New York, captures attention, builds brand recognition, and evokes positive emotions. Its creativity and dynamism reflect the spirit of one of the most exciting cities in the world and serve as a powerful marketing tool.
Yellow Cab Color
Everyone knows the yellow taxis – a symbol of New York. By using this color in the logo, we establish a direct link to the city’s image.
Il. 1. Basic version
Il. 2. Version on a yellow background
Il. 3. Contrast version on a black background

Outdoor
A similar approach can be observed in outdoor advertising. The colors of New York and pop art dominate, strongly identifying our center. Manhattan, as the center, adopts the yellow color, which, when combined with black, is the most contrasting color combination for the human eye.

The complexity of the facility, a large number of floors, and the heterogeneity of the inter-level communication structure necessitate the creation of an efficient visual information system. Its style aligns with the generally accepted identity of the place.

A place that exudes a welcoming attitude, greeting every customer in a natural way, helps personalize the center’s offerings and tailor them to the age and expectations of consumers.
