Symbol to Logo – Polish Graphic Marks 1945–1969, 2000–2015
Am Vorabend der TYPO Berlin fand im Kunstquartier Bethanien die Vernissage der Ausstellung Symbol to Logo statt, die noch bis 04. Juni 2017 zu sehen ist. Eine sehr sehenswerte Sammlung von Logos, die das polnische Grafikdesign maßgeblich beeinflusst haben! Am 28. Mai ab 14 Uhr gibt es zudem Vorträge namhafter Gestalter – unbedingt vorbei schauen!
Aus dem Pressetext: “Symbol to Logo” is a reconstruction and selection of The 1ST and The 2ND Polish Exhibition of Graphic Symbols that were held in 1969 and 2015.
The exhibition presents the unknown history of logo design in Communist Poland and will serve as a reminder of forgotten stars of Polish design and their works and shows how the design of logos and visual identification has changed since the post-war years to the present day – from hand-drawn graphic symbols to digitally-rendered logos; from artistic graphic symbols to logos designed for commercial brands; and, finally, from individual symbols to complex visual identities.
This universal, visual story reflects the history of Poland and Polish society over the past seventy years. The exhibition will be accompanied by special tours given by the curators and lectures by international guests, such as Jens Müller, author of the book Logo Modernism.
