Etikettarkiv: Typography

Typographic business cards creatively use typography or text as the only design element. It gives a simple yet cool feel to your professional image. It is a trend that has been hugely adopted by book covers; music CDs, t-shirts and now is seen replacing the artwork itself of business cards. It is like the new black, timeless and all pervasive.

Font type, size, color and style are the pillar stones of working this trend on cards. Typography can be combined with other effects to elevate the impact further – Gold or silver foiled text, letter press typography or spot gloss options can affect legibility, neatness and overall attractiveness of the card.

NEXT

“Our approach to NEXT new visual identity, was inspired by the company name and how they approach their work. The role of NEXT is to see what has yet to be considered. They must always know what’s around the corner and how to envision what’s next. Their new identity had to include a logo that looked forward to what was beyond the page or monitor. It had to express the unconventional nature of the agency’s work and be engaging and thought provoking. It had to ask ‘what’s NEXT’ and the whole identity system needed to support that directive.”

“Hay algo de ficción verdadera y lógica mágica en lo oculto. Texturas y matices que tienen dentro de su esencia el secreto mejor guardado: la sofisticación. El misterio convierte verdades en fantasías y fantasías en verdades; lo oculto es el motor de movimiento del ser humano.” Malahat fue el nombre de un barco contrabandista conocido como “The Queen of Rum Row”. El Rum Row era el término utilizado para los barcos que viajaban ilegalmente llenos de licor durante la época de la prohibición en Estados Unidos, los contrabandistas eran conocidos como “Rum Runners”. Entre casas antiguas, restaurantes y bares en el centro de la ciudad de Mérida, se encuentra una placa de madera con un símbolo dorado junto una puerta que usualmente se mantiene cerrada. Al tocar y entrar se descubre un pequeño bar a luz de velas con música jazz de fondo y una pared con los licores más clásicos y exclusivos. Esto es Malahat, un bar obscuro, aventurero y peligroso inspirado en la cultura speakeasy. Creamos un logotipo hecho a mano con letra cursiva, poco legible, misterioso, esto con el fin de mantener el enigma detrás de “The Queen of the Rum Row”. Se creó un símbolo elaborado con distintos elementos que aportan características únicas a la personalidad del bar. Los elementos que se encuentran en el símbolo son el romero, considerada como una planta sagrada y mágica, utilizada en la mixología; el mar, una botella y burbujas, importantes para conocer el nivel de alcohol contenido en algunas bebidas.

Clectic

“Clectic is whatever the customer wants it to be; restaurant, gastro-bar, cafe or lounge fused into a unic space. Healthy food with no schedules. The final solution was an identity based on a big “C” articulated on both sides by the rest of the words. The idea was to suggest in a synthetic and fresh approach a dish accompanied by a fork and a knife. We develop the whole identity including tablecloths, coasters, clothing , menu.”
