“Thanks to AREA 17 for challenging all the derisive stereotypes directed at agencies. You've been true partners and kindred spirits from day one.”
“Our brand is more than a logo and a new visual identity; it is a line in the sand—the beginning of a momentous transformation that will reshape the Gallery’s core.”
“The brand value that we have created has allowed us to be immediately recognized and credible with our stated ambition.”
“AREA 17 structured a process that led to interesting discussions, clear decisions, and a result that we can claim as the best expression of our thinking and work.”
“You cared as much about the work as we did—and that’s saying a lot. It was one of the most satisfying and meaningful pieces of work in my career.”
