Market Art Fair

Market Art Fair is the leading marketplace for contemporary art in the Nordic region. Founded in 2006, it brings together top galleries, collectors, institutions, and enthusiasts from across the Nordics and beyond.

The identity centers around an elegant wordmark in a bespoke serif typeface. A tilted, centered “R” introduces a touch of artistic imperfection — symbolizing creativity at the heart of the fair. A monochrome palette of black and white is refreshed annually with curated accent colors, keeping the identity dynamic and contemporary.

A graphic pattern was developed from close-up sections of the logo, symbolizing the endless perspectives viewers can have when experiencing different works of art. The broad typographic palette combines accessibility with a sense of exclusivity, allowing the visual language to adapt across different platforms and expressions.

The black and white color scheme is complemented each year with one to three accent colors. The accent colors shift annually, creating a flexible and dynamic visual language that can respond to trends, current events, and cultural shifts — ensuring the identity stays fresh and relevant over time.

For the 2025 edition of the fair, artist Loji Höskuldsson found inspiration in the new logo when creating custom workwear for the V1 Gallery staff.
