LOGOARCHIVE EXTRAISSUE: PAST & PRESENT
LogoArchive is a zine dedicated to mid-century logo
design, and the brain-child of Richard Baird at BP&O.
For the third special ExtraIssue, the design reins have
been handed over to Swedish studio BankerWessel. It
explores the relationship between the logos of the past
and the branding scene of the present – represented by
BankerWessel’s design work, featured in two booklet
inserts. “By punctuating the archival section with the
work of the present, it served as a good reminder of
how designers still build on the work of the past, even
when branding has become multi-sensory,” explains
Richard. “It’s a reminder that there’s still a power and
appeal inherent to a strong symbol.”
