First feeling: Yes, it is funny and family is visible. It will work on website.
But’s:
– Will it work on highway billboard? (You don’t have time to think, you need to read it immediately.)
– Could some color change help to logo?
The Internet wasn’t but a twinkle in Al Gore’s eye in the 1970s when this logo was designed. A 40-some year-old logo which holds up under a much evolved (forgive the Darwin pun) 21st century microscope is damn near perfect. Strong strokes, simple type/iconography will translate brilliantly on outdoor applications. Those who cannot read this logo on a billboard are 1) legally blind and 2) shouldn’t be driving.
Please kindly inform yourself before posting. Thank you for your consideration. Chin up, kiddo.
First you don’t have to recognize the play on letters. It’s like a bonus when people get when exploring the logo mark. Just like the hidden arrow in FedEx: It works without noticing it too.
Second, you don’t introduce your startup brand on a billboard. This is a media more used for improving brand-recognition or for new campaigns. So if anybody see this logo on a billboard he/she will probably be familiar with the logo already or else he/she is just not the target of the ad at that moment.
Herb was a fantastic designer – It’s interesting to see a new generation of designers discover the his work and the work of designers such as Paul Rand, Saul Bass (et al)
Look for his mark for Mother&Child. It’s another classic.

@ Charles Darwin:
Are you serious? Wow.

ReplyI disagree with Darwin here.

I’m giving another 5 stars to it :)
