Following up on my last post about logos on the big screen, here’s an interesting digital short that’s made up of only logos. Produced by French collective, H5, Logorama has won a handful of prestigious awards including an Academy Award and the Kodak Prix at the Cannes Film Festival. Take a look and see how many logos you can recognize.
Logos are all around us, from the drive-thru sign at McDonald’s to computer monitors we stare at everyday. Yeah, take a look. There’s probably a little Apple or Dell icon right in front of you. The magic of graphic design isn’t limited to any one medium. Here’s a look at some logos we’ve come to love via our favorite TV shows & sitcoms.
Today I interviewed Bradford Lawton and Tony Diamond, co-owners of BradfordLawton in San Antonio, Texas. (Yes, they happen to employee me as well, but don’t hold it against them.) Tony describes the company as “an agency that develops corporate strategies, image architecture and advertising services for great clients who seriously want to grow.”
I bet you’re wondering, “Who’s that and why should I care?” Have you heard of Taco Cabana? Or how about EZ’s, LaCantera, Endura, or St.Davids? These are just a few of the logos and brand identities created by Brad and Tony, all of which have become well-known icons locally, regionally, and even nationally.
Brad & Tony talk about how they spot good graphic design and what you should do as a designer or artist to improve your work.
But they don’t focus on only logos. You can get a more robust look at what a full service ad agency does by visiting their website.
P.S. My favorite design is for the San Antonio Botanical Gardens. Look closely at the petals and see if you notice anything.
