  • Collins Rebrands Muse Group, Capturing Essence of Music Experience

    Collins has rebranded Muse Group, the company behind music apps like Ultimate Guitar and MuseScore, with a new identity inspired by the physics and emotion of sound. The project introduces a custom typeface family, Muse Display, and a dynamic visual system that captures the essence of musical experience rather than genre. Through geometric abstraction and motion, the rebrand unifies Muse Group’s products under a shared philosophy of 'creative fluency'.
