Tatum Design – Where Brands Soar
The Gogue
Performing Arts Center
High Performing. Gogue Performing Arts Center at Auburn University sets the stage for the wider community to unite and witness remarkable world-class performances. The brand gracefully takes the shape of a lower-case “g” and embodies artistic performances of every kind. It is a dancer flying through the air, a singer enraptured in song and an actor transforming into character. It is a musical note, a hand-carved scroll of a stringed instrument and a gratified entertainer taking a humble bow. It is a story of passion unfolding and the power of the arts, all coming to life at once.
The Gogue Performing Arts Center at Auburn University (GPAC) is the “cultural gateway” to campus. This prominent community venue showcases the exceptional talents of professional artists and empowers the newest generation of creative voices. During the design phase of the center, Tatum Design was commissioned by a special, institutional task force to envision the future brand. Through much exploration, our firm developed a contemporary brand that embodies artistic performances of every kind. The expressive symbol of a lowercase “g” is complemented by an ensemble of vibrant colors. It is an open invitation for everyone to enjoy the arts unlike the cliquish attitude of so many performing arts venues. The brand fosters a creative environment where all types of expression from hip hop to opera are equally appreciated. For this reason, diverse groups of people want to fill the seats and attend a show. The GPAC brand sets the stage for world-class entertainment and puts on a striking performance long before the curtain opens.
