RoKö Logo (yet another one)

Outer shape reads "Ro", inner shape reads "Kö":


Here are two stamp layouts with the logo:


same thing but more complex: ... and just the intials:

The one showing his "teeth" is the best one so far:

Neues Logo für Mühlheim am Main - Logo Design

Die Entscheidung für das neue Stadtlogo von Mühlheim am Main ist gefallen. Gewonnen hat der Entwurf von Arndt Poser und Marco Gabriel:

Hier kommen die anderen Entwürfe. Die 13 Logos stammen von Studenten aus der Klasse Konzeptionelle Gestaltung bei Prof. Hesse an der HfG Offenbach.

HIER SIND DIE LOGOS IN BESSERER QUALITÄT.

Khodadad Bahmani hat ein Mühlrad integriert...

... wie auch Victor Balko.

Zwei weitere Entwürfe von Victor:


Und das Logo von Lukas Wagner:

Die Urheber der restlichen Entwürfe gehen aus dem Zeitungsartikel nicht hervor.

Ispiriert von der Aufgabenstellung habe ich übungsweise (und ausdrücklich nicht konkurrierend) diesen Entwurf gemacht:


Das Logo, das ich letztes Jahr für Lara und Christian gemacht habe wäre hier auch gar nicht so unpassend: Haus=Stadt, Fluss=Main, Möbiusschleife=Zukunft, Mühle=Mühlheim.

I made this image during my time at MassArt for a self-promotional postcard that never came to be. (Note: Don't use the email in the picture.)

images for Fulbright

Mutual Understanding through Academic and Cultural Exchange.

I made these images for the German-American Fulbright Commission. The b/w version was used last year for the information folder for new scholarship holders.

The color version I did for fun just now. Here is a lucky coincidence: At first, I had the American shilhouette filled only with stripes. Somehow, I felt, I had to incorporate at least one star with respect to the Star Spangled Banner. So where should I place it? I moved over to the German puzzle piece and placed it in the top section. Here is the miracle: It approximates the location of Berlin! This is where the German-American Commission is headquatered.

Here is the complete cover illustration from last year:

This year, I kept it more loose and open. Regarding the fact, that the students are using it for three days, there are more things to discover rather than simply read off the page. I enjoyed a loose drawing on the cover, when I was a scholarship holder in 2006/07 myself.

Hello

I just discovered the magic of ambigrams. Somehow, this stencil image of mine could be seen as a pictorial ambigram, since it is two things at the same time.







Here is an ambigramm spelling out my sister's names.
