Bank of Taipei, identity by Chermayeff & Geismar. I appreciate the English Logo Type that compliments the Chinese Logo Type, but flower petals again? I am hating on the Logo Mark today. Alright, visually, it’s fine; it works, they explained that it’s “secure” and “trusting” to have the square. C’mon, there must be so much more meaning to draw from. By the way, the National Flower of R.O.C is the plum blossom, and it has five petals, not four. New York punks.
To you:
I thought I was free with you, I thought you were my missing piece; neither were true. I was taken captive by you, I was disabled in your presence: my own personal devil. It’s been almost a year since the relationship that changed my life, but you’re just a faint memory now. I’ve forgotten how it felt to be touched by you, to be in love with you, and that’s for the best. Without you I now know how it feels to be beautiful, how it feels to be happy, how it feels to be alive, none of which I felt with you. I was abandoned by you, the one I thought would never leave, but that abandonment was the only way I’d come to be liberated by and from you. You knew my pain, it was all too familiar, and you knew you couldn’t help me. Only He could. Thank you for introducing me to the freedom I needed. Thank you for the conversations that would bring me to Christ.In Your freedom I will live, I offer devotion…
College is overrated; but the process of learning that, priceless.
The type treatment for the word, 福 (Blessings). You see, it’s made up with the Japanese flag also the shape of the bag, and W (winter hills winter sales, the event theme). at Omotesando Hills.
The moon, on the other side of the sun set. 中山 University, Kaosiung, Taiwan.
Just a few minutes later. Sun set at 中山 University, Kaosiung, Taiwan.
Interesting icon design at Midtown, Tokyo. You can tell the designer had some fun with it. Also look at the Rotis Sans Serif matching the Japanese type below, the Japanese has their own sense of typography in which I still fail to learn the logic behind it.
Though my respond to the title of this book would be beleive in Jesus, How to be a graphic designer without loosing your soul (the one you see here is the mandarin version I bought in Taipei). Good book recommended to all graphic designers.
Saw many smiles this morning at church; realized that this whole week of work was worth everything! Lives being changed; priceless.
