Feather quill logos...!

Think press, media and news information today and you think dynamic moving messages, interactive and digital. I'm always surprised how newsagent stores in France are still signed by medieval calligraphers feather quills. Explanation: Egyptian symbol of Ma'at - goddess of truth, justice & order. Later used as a Christian symbol of virtues. Maybe time for an update in the 21st century?

Apples for apples...

New Franprix logotype by Bastien FiguiƩ and Les Bons Faiseurs, looks very Apple... but a good improvement on the chaotic brand updates that have been all over the place in recent years. A bit Monop' too.
