Old England, with its quintessential facade and signage, will close its doors definitively on 31 March 2012 after 144 years of purveying a certain English life style to Parisians and homesick expats. Listed as a Monument Historique the facades will be conserved.

Suvarnabhumi International Airport Bangkok

2012-02-08T20:47:00.002+01:00

Suvarnabhumi Airport opened in 2006 is the world's 4th largest airport building, covering half a million square meters and catering to 48 million passengers. I counted 50 passport control desks on arrival. Returning to CDG Paris at 6.00am hundreds of passengers waited at 7 open passport control desks and two mal-functioning biometric control gates. The Air France Bus ticket distributors were all 'en panne'... Bienvenu en Europe.

Politically correct toothpaste

2011-12-18T17:37:00.002+01:00

Anyone who travelled in South East Asia before the 1980's will recall the distinctive packaging of Darkie brand toothpaste. I still have an original pack in my collection. Political correctness oblige, Darkie became Darlie and finally changed from Black to White. The eclectic look was lost but amusingly the Cantonese name still translates as Black Man Toothpaste. You just can't win!

Evolution of the Working Man icon

2011-10-20T11:22:00.003+02:00

Spotted this sign last week. Love the evolution of Working Man from his figurative and very trim physic in the late 50's - early 60's vintage version, to his more solid and iconic contemporary representation. Interestingly he has put on more weight, and safety boots, but his head has been reduced to an anonymous round dot. Is he more or less productive? Not sure judging by the piles of sand or gravel...

“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

The Green Dot symbol and recycling confusion

2011-08-30T18:10:00.003+02:00

What is the consumer meant to make of this? The Green Dot symbol (here brown) does not necessarily mean the packaging can be recycled, it is a fee paid licensed symbol indicating participation in packaging recovery and recycling by the manufacturer.

Consumers, understandably, think it indicates a package is recyclable. So we end up with this: a Green Dot, a recycling bin with a green cyclic arrow, a paper bag symbol and to add total confusion a red NO! All that on some organic bakery products.

His ambition is to have the greatest design museum in the world. Bravo.

Projects include SoyUp by Jeremy P (Grenoble), Melo by Chris A (UK), Wmlk by Adrian R and Moustache by Yann D (Strate 4th).

Coffee brands and packaging

Having working experience of the Tassimo brand and having worked on a lot of coffee branding and packaging design over the years, I am intrigued by the new Tassimo brand by Turner Duckworth. The use of the distinctive 'disc' shape in the icon and logotype are successful, the mark is appealing and communicates the diversity of flavours.

It also moves it clearly out of the Nespresso black and gold universe, to somewhere new.

From $35 to $1 million, the Swoosh story

2011-06-18T09:28:00.010+02:00

The Nike swoosh created by designer Carolyn Davidson for Phil Knight and his fledgling Nike brand cost $35 in 1971. When first presented, Phil's comment was 'Well, I don't love it, but maybe it will grow on me'...

Today the Nike brand is worth $10.7 billion (Interbrand), the most valuable sports brand in the world. Knight is not only a outstanding entrepreneur, he is also a world class philanthropist. He has donated $230 million to the University of Oregon, $100 million to its Athletics Fund, $105 million to Stanford Graduate School and $100 million to the Oregon University Cancer Institute.

In 1983 he organized a party for Carolyn, gave her a diamond and gold Swoosh ring and an envelope containing 500 Nike shares, which today are worth... nearly $1 million. Just share it!

Origine vs Hexagonale...

2011-06-08T22:31:00.007+02:00

Latest on the Origine France logotype: turns out there already exists a Made in France logo in the form of La Fabrique Hexagonale. Of course this does not mean anything to anyone outside France or any non French speakers (perhaps a weak point for a logo promoting French manufacturing?) but at least it is visually quite strong.

Oh, and still no reply from OFG concerning the designer. Seems they are as strong in communication and PR as in branding design...!

Origine France Garantie logotype

2011-06-06T10:29:00.005+02:00

19 May saw the official unveiling at the Assemblée Nationale of the new Origine France logotype. The stated objectives being the promotion of French industrial and artisanal 'savoire-faire' and a standard to identify French origin for domestic and export markets.

Disappointing to discover the outcome of 18 months reflection on the subject in this indistinctive and dated looking design. The message and national identity is a lot clearer in the origin logotypes of France's principal market competitors. No mention of the designer or agency is made in the press announcement. I am awaiting a reply to this from Origine France.

And what is that chisel tip 'marker' style typeface?

How long is a piece of string?

2011-05-25T08:46:00.008+02:00

What is the investment and what is the return on investment in design? The response is invariably another question - How long is a piece of string?

Nevertheless our design budgets and fee structure are dependent entirely on the nature of the brief and our intervention: the communication problem, the target objectives, the strategy put in place and the solutions proposed.

Our fees are calculated in function of the hours and days to be committed to each phase of the project, multiplied by the duration of the assignment and are mutually agreed. Typically our budgets range from

€5 000 to €50 000, with the occasional project at slightly more or less than this.

Return on investment and the added value of design are now givens and hardly need to be demonstrated. We have achieved 100% sales increases, touched one billion consumers, achieved thousands of site visits a day at launch, doubled turnover and exceeded targets with our interventions.

Design is the unique market differentiator and creator of added value.

It is design that creates icons and generates the 'must have' emotional response, that makes the difference between the generic and the unique - qualities and values that are, of course, priceless.
