Classik TV is on Télématin! ... This is a small site made in the crowd of Bombay TV, which creates a short video and send his film to a friend. (Example: Grapheine after a charette)

We'll believe it speaks only of car logos on this Blog ...
They'll think we do a "FIXET" on the Peugeot logo ...
but never mind, I start ...

In three years, three French manufacturers have revised their visual identities: Renault in 2007, Citroën in 2008, and Peugeot in 2009.

What a strange feeling in the end: chromium, chromium and chrome ...
When I think there are agents who sell them due to a max of "kopecks" ensuring a dynamic new logo, futuristic, comforting and above positioning "original" and "innovative" vis-à-vis its two other competitors ... I ... uh ... just kidding ... For example, the new Citroën chevrons on summers designed by an agency called "Landor. It must be a metaphor for the effect they have on their customers ... 3 photoshop effects, quite a bleuf hop and hop on the client asleep ...

To be convinced that their genome is common, make some small mixtures ...

However, for perspective, we must still remember that Citroen and Peugeot are among the same group PSA, which could explain the effect that "all my way Chrome T1000 in Terminator 3" is the same. And I do not speak of typographical choices ...

And as one might treat us as unpatriotic, here is a list of car chrome logos. Can you find the few brands that have not resorted to this artifice?
... And you speak without logos cars compounds with a circle (or protective circle metaphor of the wheel?). In short, without wanting to get into a critical rule of any logo, which I find regrettable It is this consistency which sadly leads to depletion of signs that make up our landscape graph.

And two videos not new but darn interesting!

Project not selected for the visual identity of the CCTF (French Federation of Circus Schools). In principle, we do not respond to a tender unpaid, but for the CCTF, the subject is really nice, we had not resisted the temptation to present the principle of identity "flexible". Initials "CCTF", we retain the vertical bars (elements common to all letters) and we associate graphical elements (circles, squares, triangles, stars) that are identified each letter. These geometric forms come to symbolize all the disciplines of circus arts (balance = Triangle, Circle = Juggling, ...). Thus the logo is not necessarily a fixed layout, the elements can be combined to infinity (in the forms and colors) to compose the identity.

Far from mastering all the intricacies of the management of typography in CSS, however, I discovered the value of the tag "Font Face". This allows to use any font (or almost ...) on a website. So ended, "Arial", the "verdana" and other "helvetica"!

Strangely this tag (css2) exists since Internet Explorer 4 (1998), but only accepted format EOT (Embedded OpenType: a proprietary format rather limited and restrictive). Since Safari 3, Firefox 3.5 and Opera 10 have incorporated this marker (CSS3), and it is therefore possible to use a TrueType font (ttf) or OpenType (otf).

Thus, we reach freedom with a small piece of code like:

 
 @ font-face (
  
 font-family: 'myfontA';
  
 src: url ( 'maFont.eot');

 )

 @ font-face (
  
 font-family: 'myfontA';
  
 src: url ( 'maFont.otf');

 ) 

Still some concerns after viewing the browser or system of the user. So the Mac printer will be smoothed (anti-alising), whereas in PC, there will be no anti-alising.

By reading our blog, you will notice that the titles of articles are now composed typo "Grapheine"!
Small excerpt from our typo, through this famous Pangram hetero-consonantal (phrase containing all the letters of the alphabet and each consonant is used only once). Usually assigned to Gerorge Perec, it seems to be Pangram first appeared in the Journal de Mickey 1957 :
"Wear this
old whiskey
Judge blond
smoking "

This is the equivalent of what you should see typo in Mac:

This is the equivalent of what you should see typo in PC is less glorious, because the font smoothing is not enabled basic (Yack PCs ...)

Within days of Sustainable Development, City of Noisy holds 10 days of meetings, debates and other events. This week will end with a day of discussion with the people, a great forum to launch the process of Agenda 21 of the city.

The Paris City Council wishes to develop arts education for all young Parisians and encourage them to attend cultural venues by bringing together cultural institutions and schools. The discovery of the artistic practices of children and adolescents in different areas (theater, music, dance, public libraries, museums ...) are thus, by making contact with works and cultural institutions, promoted.
We have been consulted to design the logo of this Label "Art for Growth to identify all the actions undertaken in this area.

We have not been identified, but here are our suggestions ...

TRACK 1:

Proposal of a symbol (graphical and typographical) resulting from ligation of the initial "a" of art and "g" to grow. This sign is similar to a spring or a sapling. It aims to bring enlightenment and artistic curiosity of the public, as well as fantasy and freedom of thought proper to challenge preconceptions could have on the art field.
His scribbled drawing evokes the gesture of spontaneous creativity, while the bulk composition of typographical characters in "low-to-break round" will forward accessibility. It is an invitation to "bounce" beyond its assets for go further and develop ... with Art!

Its graphic simplicity and symbolism in a label are very efficient and has much to communicate about the arts scene on the Visual Arts.

TRACK 2:

This track focuses on the proposal to sign a "thought bubble". It communicates the idea of a projection on the future of oneself. Narrative This sign can translate the concepts of growth and intellectual development, the representation of an area chart in training, and whose silhouette strangely eventful expresses the fusion of various diverse artistic fields.

Here is the poster of the next Carnival of Noisy-le-Grand. This year's theme is "Sweets, sweets and Coy. The visual chosen is a small bet into abyss: the child is his "Candy Floss" which she takes her "Wolf". The result is a poetic image and intriguing ...

It's always amusing encounters typographical corner. Here is a shabby building unearthed on the plateau of the Croix-Rousse in Lyon. Establishments Berlioz-Burfin, construction materials, fat lime and other typographic oddities that archaeologists describe as the letter typography naive.

/ Logo peugeot part 1

This morning it was barely awake as I head to my bakery for a growing mission. Then I saw on the sidewalk in front of a strange silhouette lying on the floor. Damp and somewhat émmeché thus spread before me the old emblem of the car manufacturer Peugeot. The glassy eyes, fur neglected and an iron bar across the top. Obviously last night was rough. It stinks that alcohol animals! I immediately recognized despite his pitiful state. Must say I am cur closely. The poor, yet another victim of fashion makeover and facelift of another logo ... Throw by marketers as a result of casting supposed modernize the brand image. One can easily imagine how his life changed. Too old, he has to try to thump your chest but he has been sidelined by a youth with long teeth on the tiles ... the lion! Lost amid the nine-three and a holy hangover. Table hurts the heart. I try to talk to him, asked him to get a coffee, a pastry before waving his nose but he seems unwilling to hear me, it has lost dreaming the good old days. It is hard to make old bones in the land of logos! Across the street, I catch the dog has six legs of the sign Agip who royally fucks her mouth. He rolls a mechanical and spits fire his ancestral mouth ... Very symbolic. I try to tell me that this confuses does not concern me, so I returned with my breakfast 'under his arm and quickly forget this mishap before the first two episodes last season of Lost.
