Book Eulda 07 by Norbert Kuepper

eulda â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;07

On behalf of the Icograda Executive Board, and our members in 67 countries, I would like to extend our congratulations on the publication of the 2007 European Logo Design Annual (EULDA). Promoting excellence in European communication design and providing recognition for the people who invest their passion in this field is an example of putting Icograda’s vision of ‘leading creatively’ into action. In a few short years, EULDA has emerged as a premiere showcase for European communication design. Its innovative jury format is a unique opportunity for designers, clients and the public to come together and select the work that reflects the best of European brand identity development. Icograda is honoured to extend its endorsement of EULDA 2007 and looks forward to continued collaboration as the awards scheme expands to an international format.

With regards,

Jacques Lange Icograda President 2005-2007 Jacques Lange Icograda President

campaign, announced by “Consumer Society & Citizen Networks”. We were already done with creative ideas and went on working on billboard poster execution, when we realized that something important was missing in our communication – there was no “signature” on our ad. So we decided that we need such a signature, and, therefore, made logo for the CSCN, even though pitch brief did not include any logo development. But we really needed it, and so we did it. Then, we simply presented this logo to the “Consumer Society & Citizen Networks” and, in a while, entered it into the competition. So, the lesson is: one may work minimizing efforts – “if it is not in the brief, than we don’t do it”, or one may make an effort, maximizing results – both in campaign effectiveness and in design awards”. Jovan Rocanov, Kaffeine Communications’ art director, shortly explains the concept behind this logo: “the purpose of “Consumer Society & Citizen Networks” project is to help us, consumers, protect our rights, first of all, through making us aware of these rights. Therefore, I was searching for the most simple and distinct way to show protection in a context of consumption. As the result, I connected two very clear symbols: a bar code - as a symbol of consumption - and an umbrella - as a symbol of protection.

A new hairdressing saloon opened in Helsinki, Finland, in spring of 2006. Called “ihana” (Finnish for “lovely” or “delightful”), it needed a new logo and a visual identity. To avoid self-evident references, a rather strict and minimalistic visual style was adopted. The letters are “cut” and can also be seen as a comb, going through hair. 83 Finland

The Association of Albanian Publishers is based in Skopje, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. It was founded in the year 2000 after some publishers of books in Albanian language operating in the country felt the need to communicate under one voice. The logo is direct and to the point, and at the same time pictures the book as the key symbol. It derives from a firm geometric grid, consisting the golden section proportions. The shadow presented in an exaggerated perspective reflects the future oriented vision of the association while the sharp angles of the logo express its formal character. The red and black color palette suggests stability and trust and at the same time derives from the national flag.

The goal of the logo for the Klöpfer lumber trade group (”Klöpferholz“) was to represent the group’s leading market position in a confident and authentic manner and express the inherent connection with wood. The central idea is focused on the material itself: the lumber, usually seen in the supplier’s warehouse as a stack of boards.

Germany

Derived from the brand name “Klöpferholz“, the logo shows an abstract “K” made of wooden boards. The high quality of the products and services is expressed by the choice of a saturated dark brown. In communicative and spatial applications, the logo is expanded into a banderole.

Theater Ingolstadt

The “Kleines Haus” (“Small House”) is the new young stage of the Theatre Ingolstadt (Germany). The name stands in opposition to the “Grand House”, which is the main and established stage of this Theatre. The Logo’s shape derives from the long ashlar building in which the stage is housed. It underlines the Directors’ new and “loud” concept which is to suprise and shock the established theatre environment by shouting out the name and putting the type in perspective.

Radio Popolare

The logo was designed for the 30th anniversary of an Italian radio station: Radio Popolare. A visual tour of “sign cleaning” synthesizes the logo through direct and simple elements of representation, as the radio message should be. The logo had to visualize the concept of “communication” not only for the 30th anniversary but making it more general by using the symbol of waves which gives the idea of diffusion and expansion.

The c.ha.s.ÂŽ System is a system that resolved an old issue in the field of music: how to keep all the chords melodius by providing an unmatched degree of harmonicity. With its equation and a coherent, precise, tensorial and synchronic Form, which is self-regulating and self-balancing, the System uses tensorial constants to proportion the octaves and all intervals and reveals the dynamic whole where sounds interplay in a synchronised harmonic relationship and where each sound constitutes a tensorial centre as memory and trace of the Form itself. The c.ha.s.ÂŽ System constitutes a model of value for future research into phenomena related to sound-energy.
