The identity for the Museo Stefano Bardini is inspired by the diversity in the frames and artwork that cover the museum's walls. Stefano Bardini was a famous Florentine art collector, and the museum contains a somewhat mis-matched assembly of his diverse collection, shown as a large conglomeration of frames on the "Bardini" blue walls in the exhibit. The logo of the two overlapping frames connotes a kind of looking in, and these shapes make up a pattern that gives homage to the diversity of Stefano Bardini's collection, as well to the unique way they are displayed in the museum.
