There is a Superwoman myth dating back in the 1970’s – women are supposed to raise kids, have careers, save the Earth and create little miracles every other day. Sure, Superwomen CAN DO IT – we’ve seen it on TV.
There is a new myth buster in town called Organic Valley.
Dear women, feel free to wake up grumpy in the morning, to hate your kids sometimes, to feel like dying when you exercise and dream to overeat with chocolate. I’ve seen it on TV.
Ivan Chermayeff is often called the “logo genius” – his works are all around us today. He is responsible for the clean corporate identity of NBC, the Museum of Modern Art, National Geographic, Mobil Oil, PanAm… And the combination of clarity and wit made Chermayeff a favourite illustrator for newspapers and magazines.
“It’s important not to think too hard” – admits the logo master. His collages often appear after only 15 seconds of work.
Despite his precise shapes and colors hi says his favorite activity is to cut colored paper with scissors. May be this is due to the fact that the logo legend does not even have a computer or a mobile phone. Or may be this activity is simply a reflection of the true artist inside.
“In the 50’s, when a cab driver asked what you did, and you said graphic design, you’d have to explain it for an hour.” – says Chermayeff.
One thing is for sure, there is no one in the graphic design business who needs to be introduced to the works of the living logo legend.
Long live the logo King!

One of my favorite OOH campaigns this year include FIAT’s Safety Wi Fi. Simple and brilliant identity, created by Leo Burnett, Brazil. No wonder the campaign won Clio award this year.
The challenge – more that 90% of the passengers in the back car seats don’t bother to put their seat belts. Fiat dared to change that by rewarding them with a free Wi Fi access activated only after the passenger buckles his seat belt.
This Academy Creative Director Ford Oelman revealed his dreamy tagline for this year’s ceremony ad campaign – “We all dream in gold.” That line is written in scripted gold on a series of print ads featuring black-and-white photos of Hollywood stars holding their trophies at recent Oscars shows.
