The following logos were exhibit during the Bulgarian Design Biennial in Sofia, Octomber, 2008. All of them are from bulgarian designers. All of the pictures are shot with photocamera and then I’ve tried to clean the background and the reflections as far as I could. If you like a certain logo – you can read a few words about some of the symbols at the end of this post. logos-biennale-bg-sofia # 2 – client – space greenhouse “Svet 3” # 3 – “Ontotext” – software for text analysis # 4 – 112 – the emergency number you can dial in…

The movie is showing the use of “artboards” – these are like different sheets that you can work on at the same time and also cover each other, so it’s like you are designing on one table ( like in real life ), without loosing sight of the other sheets.. Something familiar as a functionality has already been created in InDesign, but here – it’s more dynamic, intuitive and easy to use. Great for all identity materials. You should watch the video 🙂
mini_e_logo This is Mini E. Only 500 owners will drive the yellow “E” logo. “E” stands for Electricity. I want to share this logo with you for some reasons: It’s new, it’s witty, it’s a classic styled logo ( 2d, simple primitives, etc.), and it’s great. The E is “eaten” from a cirle, showing us a “electric plug” – telling the hole story of this mini model in a simple sign. A yellow one. No way to miss it. The most of the logo spots on the car are typical ( the roof – there was the UK flag in…
There’s a movie called “Surf’s Up“. A nice penguin-surf animated story with humor and cool music. And logos. The logos bellow ( except for the yellow one ) are a part of the closing titles. They are used right next to the people’s names and identify the certain movie character they developed. Really simple, but used in an effective way. Why ? First – the image is too simple and it gives you time to focus on the name, the person ( wich is the most importain in a closing title ). Second – the logo style is quite different…

the-logo-is-milton-glaser a fragment from the book “Identity Crisis” by Jeff Fisher. With this post I’m starting 2 new categories : “fragments” & “Sayings”. Everyday I see interesing logo stuff, but not enough for a hole post, or I just don’t have time to present it the way I want.. so that’s how “fragments” appeared. Hope you’ll like it.
signet-signal-symbol-1984 Walter J. Diethelm ( the author ) is born in Switzerland. He was devoted to typography and graphic design. Died in Zurich, 1986. As far as I can see – he’s an author of some other interesing stuff. If someone is familiar with his Bio – please, share 🙂
Definitely most of the logos are good enough, but it wouldn’t be the same if there were no colorful backgrounds and light spots. Which reminds me to write a post about the “logo presentations” and all the ways that you can showcase your babies 🙂 expect soon.
