ATypI Copenhagen dynamic logo
18. feb 2003
We had the napkin with the notes from the galla dinner at ATypI in Leipzig 2000, Henrik Birkvig and I on the flight back to Copenhagen, and we knew that we, together with Kim Pedersen, were about to organize ATypI in Copenhagen the year after.
And already then we sketched the cliches for identity of the conference: Red-white, old-new – the font by Engelhardt that is used for street signs in Gentofte and an animated logo.
The title of the conference: ‘Looking at the future in the rear-view mirror’ came later, but it was almost in the cards from the flight back home.

The logo were created as a Flash movie, that were visible on the website and conference screens.
The static versions were designed by means of the Flash movie. As it was running, it randomly outputted a sequence of screen captures, from which we chose the ones to use. The actual design job were to pick the right ones from a pile of automatically layouted outputs.

Patience is a virtue. The logo is moving slowly to begin with.

We started the logo and dumped a series of screens, spreaded the dumps out and selected one of them for the t-shirt.

This is not a logo ➜
The logo is not an element, a graphical form, but the character in the way it is exposed in various contexts. Thus, the logo is not a categorism any more, but a organism, a being.I was pleased at ‘Total Typographic Saturday’ in the end of october, as Tore Rosbo and Clea Simonsen from the design bureau 1508 presented the identity […]

The net is flooded with apps - for smartphones and tablets. But web sites are still better viewed on a computer, right? So the marketing department is happy and web design is business as usual. Maybe because apps and web sites are considered as two different things, rather than two versions of the same.You may create coherence […]
