The above image shows Tommie smith in the centre and John Carlos to the right showing the black power salute in 1968 Summer Olympics with silver medalist Peter Norman on the left.

I think its interesting how this salute for the photograph is now a recognised symbol and is still featured today. Below shows pumas trainers dedicated to the symbol and Tommie Smith. Internationally recognised. 

Part 2 IBM Paul Rand

Paul Rand

American Designer

Inspirations:

Paul Klee- Swiss painter of German Nationality. Mastered colour theory. Taught at the Bauhaus in Germany. Expressionism, Cubism and Surrealism.

Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe- German-American architect. Clarity and simplicity. Modern materials.

I really like the logo for IBM. The i represents an eye, the b a bee but has kept the M the same to back the identity of IBM. Very good new idea to represent the company.

Part 2 Eight

Logo for Eight a small consulting company.

I like the way they have taken the form of the number 8 to manipulate into the letters that spell eight.

SUN Microsystems Logo

On the left hand side i like the way the u and n make up the s and the way it is layed out to created the word sun but represented the microwave product of a fan.

Part 2 Skinny Jeans

Praveen Das

Skinny Jeans 

Packaging Design

As Skinny Jeans were popular this summer Praveen Design skinny bags for them this communicated the idea of the shape of the jeans but also added identity to Lee fashion group. I Like the design because it is something different to normal bags but also relates to the idea of the product.

The logo is now world wide recognised the first image is the logo being used now however like the image below it has been recreated using fruit but the consumer will still understand what the shape is meant to be communicating.

Need to find the Design Group who used it

The message that was meant to be communicated was solid ideas and was shown using a light bulb represented the bright ideas and the concrete to show the solid and consistency of the design group.

Part 2 Toilet Sign

Internationally understood 

The signs are made to be as simple as possible but to communicate the difference between the mens and ladies toilets. This is communicated using a triangle shape to represent a dress for ladies.

Google Alphabet Map

Rhett Dashwoods Google map alphabet

I like the way he has look at new technology developing and made the alphabet out of the birds eye view buildings. 

This is interesting to look at to see whether you can recognize any of the buildings.

Krink

Mini Bmw asked an ink company to decorate a mini to go in a gallery.

I think it is just visually appealing, maybe because it is something that you never see but see cars everyday.
