Just found this fantastic fashion video director/editor, Luca Finotti. This is one of his videos starring Sebastian Sauve for EY! Magateen. Absolutely love the fragmented, abstracted colours, rhythm and images – enthralling and quite experimental. The bold graphic images/motifs – circles especially, work really well – and could even be integrated into some kind of print design, still photography or branding.
Definitely worth checking out his portfolio here.
I have to admit that there are not many artist/band logos that have stuck in my mind (in an admiring way, at least) but with the revelation of this new logo celebrating Kylie’s Minogue’s 25 years of contribution to the music industry, I decided to have a little look at how the Pop Queen renowned for her elaborate re-inventiveness, has been branded. First off, I am not that huge a fan of the “25” – though, admittedly, the showgirl theme communicates well – I do find it a bit visually cliched (some may argue that, as a pop artist, Kylie sometimes fits within that category) – buy I love the K-image. The colours are rich and glossy, and the shape is a fantastic elevation of the “K” signature icon that has been used previously – and the style seems to connote both a bold theatricality and a postmodern edginess.
Here’s my pick of some pieces of Kylie typography: different text-based logo that she’s used across her musical career and other media.
I really want to go to Offset (A creative festival in Dublin) partly because of their fantastic showcase of artists and designers, but mostly because of this awesome logo. A wonderfully simple concept, but one that’s achieved really well – and, surprisingly, doesn’t come across cliched. Their line up is definitely worth checking out (here).
