Corporate Identity


This is a basic corporate identity I am working on its for my graphic design career so you know they say creating a corporate identity for yourself is the hardest but this is what i have started with let me know. Concept behind design it all started off with this (rnerdesign.com) and i liked the clean look so i am continuing with it while trying to make a logo (still in the process). This is just related to corporate identity. I know its simple but thats the point. Sorry this is late my internet at home is dial up....

Corporate Identities

Cooperate identities are a way for companies to have a streamlined and organized look. Cooperate identities became popular in the 1950's and 1960's. With the formation of CBS' identity brand. CBS developed a logo that they used on television and letter heads and anything involved with their company. But they were sure not to use it in places where it would mess up designs. IBM is another company that used cooperate identity staring off with their logo they continued to develop and use in such places as marketing and packaging. Cooperate identities are very much still around today and are bigger then ever. We use them to recognize a company when we see mcdonalds logo we think mcdonalds so their identity system works.

heres the deal









Ok so the last two images are the sketches for this week. The top sketch is based off the ideas of Peter Behrens. Ut uses a grid that i made and focuses onthe rectangular shapes of the era. The second one is just more of an idea that needs to be executed better. But mostly it deals with the ideas of futurism and the use of text as imagery. I made pens just out of the letters. Kinda simple but it gets the job done. Then the top two are posters i made for the art show they are actually based off the international typographic style i just put them up to get some feedback or whatever.
