Prince designs Martha’s Vineyard Museum logo

Prince Carl Philip of Sweden, while studying anonymously at RISD in spring 2007, developed a lighthouse design (at left) that the Martha’s Vineyard Museum is developing into its new logo, according to RISD.

The prince, who seems to be second in line to the Swedish throne, was one of nine students studying with adjunct faculty member Ootje Oxenaar in RISD’s graphic design department who spent several months developing new “visual identity schemes” for the museum. The museum, which is an outgrowth of the Martha’s Vineyard Historical Society, has partnered with RISD to help it rebrand itself as it launches a capital campaign to fund a new facility.
