Entry Description

To revitalize Denver’s most iconic & infamous street, Colfax Ave, ArtHouse re-invented the Colfax brand & streetscape to be more welcoming. ArtHouse developed a package of logos, icons, colors and patterns that embody the neon signs for which Colfax is known, but with a contemporary twist. In addition to the rebrand, ArtHouse designed a 7 foot-tall, logo sculpture, and an upcoming signage & wayfinding program to further the pedestrian experience. Through brand positioning and narrative exploration, the ArtHouse team developed an identity as iconic as Colfax itself.
