  1. gcom343: type is identity

  2. Advent in Germany • Peter Behren/AEG first • coordinated design system • encouraged consistency

  3. Marks have value when associated with good companies and are valuelesswhen attached to bad ones. —Steven Heller

  4. Corporate Identity The company’s desired perception Corporate Image The public’s actual perception Corporate Culture Employee perception

  5. Mark Fundamentals • cornerstone of CI • based on mission and ideals • appeal client and customer• identify, describe, differentiate

  6. Traits of a good mark: • clear/easy to identify• graphic• memorable • reducible• reproducible• work in B&W • positive associations

  8. Line - probably the most striking feature- convergent diagonals - form economic statement of “VW”- implied intersection- bold, equal line weights

  9. Line - probably the most striking feature- convergent diagonals - form economic statement of “VW”- implied intersection- bold, equal line weights Shape- concentric circles (target-like)- stated and implied triangles- echoing of shapes in the counters; each has its matching counterpart making mark perfectly symmetrical

  10. Line - probably the most striking feature- convergent diagonals - form economic statement of “VW”- implied intersection- bold, equal line weights Shape- concentric circles (target-like)- stated and implied triangles- echoing of shapes in the counters; each has its matching counterpart making mark perfectly symmetrical Direction- round to keep interest focused in- diagonals allow for dynamic feel

  11. Dimension - enabled by implied lighting

  12. Dimension - enabled by implied lighting - highlight in upper left quadrant- radial gradient supports a concave surface illusion

  13. Dimension - enabled by implied lighting - highlight in upper left quadrant- radial gradient supports a concave surface illusion- shadows cast give further dimension to strokes which seem to have slight relief from the surface of the sphere

  14. Dimension - enabled by implied lighting - highlight in upper left quadrant- radial gradient supports a concave surface illusion- shadows cast give further dimension to strokes which seem to have slight relief from the surface of the sphere- subtle highlights also support

  15. Dimension - enabled by implied lighting - highlight in upper left quadrant- radial gradient supports a concave surface illusion- shadows cast give further dimension to strokes which seem to have slight relief from the surface of the sphere- subtle highlights also supportTone - subtle tone changes; does not get too dark or light- tone transitions consistent with sphere shape

  16. Dimension - enabled by implied lighting - highlight in upper left quadrant- radial gradient supports a concave surface illusion- shadows cast give further dimension to strokes which seem to have slight relief from the surface of the sphere- subtle highlights also supportTone - subtle tone changes; does not get too dark or light- tone transitions consistent with sphere shapeTexture- appears smooth and hard like unblemished automobile paint- exudes a sleek metallic feel

  17. Scale Proportion - gap dividing “V” and “WW” is origination on stroke proportion

  18. Scale Proportion - gap dividing “V” and “WW” is origination on stroke proportion

  19. Scale Proportion - gap dividing “V” and “WW” is origination on stroke proportion

  20. Scale Proportion - gap dividing “V” and “WW” is origination on stroke proportion

  21. Color- range from White to Navy Blue - positive associationsConservative, but not stodgyLoyalEstablished/solidAppeal has staying power

  22. Type - sans serif- slightly extended- not too heavy- has easy going feel- modernWording - succinct- interactive- polarizing

  23. Positive Associations - overall round shape is nurturing- geometric shapes balance with exactness- type tagline modern, yet approachable - color blue is favorable internationally- considering history, associations very positive Easy Identification - can be read well on the road - graphic because of it’s simplicity- company has history on its side Quality of Abstraction- economy of form - simplified to its barest elements Reducible- holds up under reduction - some care must be taken with new version Identifiable Gestalt Principles- figure ground- closure- isormorphic correspondence- continuation- equilibrium

  24. Color vs. Black & White - reproduces in B&W- company committed to consistency in color Positive/Negative Spaces - strong geometric shapes - interval of sizes - outer curves balance Weight- thickness of lines lend to graphic impact - globe gives solidness to form- appropriately weighted for car display Flow - spherical shape gives eyes illusion of depth Direction- diagonal lines emanate upward and out- circular outline recycles, but doesn’t trap
