The graphic and typographical principles are based on the use of a dedicated character: the Duperr\u00e9<\/strong> Sans<\/strong>. Identity is built around a principle of signature and the exclusive use of 4 bodies of text. It has no identity colour or associated iconographic register. The first published materials unveiled highlight the new typeface. Future materials should emphasize pictorial, abstract, poetic, provocative, calm or stilted direction depending on subjects, contexts and editorial choices.<\/p>\n The new visual system of the Duperr\u00e9 school no longer has an identity colour as was the case with the old logo whose orange cartouche now appears too \"playful\" and more elegant and timeless enough for the school's \"fashion and design\" image. This orange had perhaps initially been retained in reference to the brick architecture of the building. The typography of the \"Duperr\u00e9 brand\" block now appears too dated. The title \"Duperr\u00e9\" was until then composed with the Tarzana character designed by\u00a0Zuzana Licko<\/a> in 1998.<\/p>\n The Tarzana font evokes the early 2000s, and the golden age of the Emigr\u00e9 foundry<\/a> founded in 1984 by Rudy VanderLans and Zuzana Licko. Only Frutiger's condensed universe used for the \"Ecole Sup\u00e9rieure des Arts Appliqu\u00e9es\" is a typographical choice that still has the merit today of remaining both timeless and elegant. For the anecdote, as an agency founded by two former students of the school, Graph\u00e9ine's logo makes a nod to this \"E\" in Tarzanna Epsilon.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The new visual identity of Duperr\u00e9 takes part of the creation of a proprietary typography rather than the design of a new \"dry\" logo which would be the choice of a more authoritarian communication. A true bias to design a flexible and modest visual system, so dear to Ruedi Baur's design vision. Its function as an open system allows it to be appropriated by all staff, teaching staff and students.<\/p>\n The typeface created by Atelier Ouf and Production Type is not without wink at the monospaces characters inherited from the typewriter and undeniably evokes an independent graphic design, a fanzine atmosphere of the 70s and 80s. A chic and punk spirit falsely \"to the snatch\". This aesthetic, both technical and \"Do it Yourself\" that the typographic block evokes, is totally in phase with the teaching of the Duperr\u00e9 school, which encourages experimentation in all directions, as well as the transversality of knowledge and disciplines.<\/p>\n Another notable and significant change is the name of the school. Previously called \"\u00c9cole Sup\u00e9rieure des Arts Appliqu\u00e9s Duperr\u00e9\", the school became \"\u00c9cole Duperr\u00e9 Paris\". A choice that reinforces the luxurious and prestigious image of training. A training which is precisely not any more to qualify since its fame and that of its school even makes it possible to position it firmly in mark signature.<\/p>\n This project to redesign Duperr\u00e9's visual identity leads us to question the communication of public schools. To the question, should the image of a public school respond to a communication strategy<\/a> and marketing issues? Our response is in the affirmative.<\/p>\n In the absence of commercial objectives, a public school is still confronted with a competitive training offer context that motivates a need for distinction, as well as promotion objectives to recruit future talent, which, with the teaching team in place, are the guarantors of the school's good reputation and excellence.<\/p>\n<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>The new visual identity of the Duperr\u00e9 school<\/a> was unveiled at the beginning of February at the 2018 open house. Atelier Ouf !<\/a><\/span> in collaboration with the foundry Production Type<\/a>\u00a0created the new visual identity.<\/p>\n
