Transforming it to Thé News—seeing that the organization witnessed and documented significant events throughout history it transformed itself into the organization that highlights what you need to know, topics concerning the world and unveils its fractions to you. Thé News is based on revealing, releasing, publicizing and displaying. The three new logos emphasize on underlining transformation.

Later, the logo is simplified to the symbol and the interchangeable word placed after it, in this case, news. The logo reaches its final form and that is the symbol alone; the fraction and accent mark being explored. Where ever the mark is placed becomes the analyzed subject. The evolution of each step of the mark does not dismiss the previous logo. All brand anticipates a period where the symbol becomes known as the symbol of truth as part of the future.

The typefaces were chosen to work together with the colors and characterize the soul of the organization and to distinguish itself from the mundane monotone voice of the daily sources of information, specifically news. The use of four different typefaces from different families that work together as a system. Univers condensed is bold and elegant for titles to catch the eye of the reader, professional yet still communicative, confident yet still approachable. Gotham with an easy to read form is meant to give you a sense of familiarity, an honest assertive tone but never imposing, friendly but never folksy, confident but never aloof. For body text the use of Serifa; rich with style but also highly functional, readable and blends in with the rest of the organization’s typographic palette. Serifa was designed and chosen to thrive under the most unfavorable conditions.
