Our logo was drawn by @laureola.bsky.social for our 2012 Berlin exhibition. I tossed her a pile of photos from the collection and she came back with something that could exist on any car from 1930–65, balancing natural freehand lettering with the more mechanical nature of emblems cut from metal.
A “Chromeography” sign hanging in a window. It mixes the flowing style of natural freehand lettering with the more mechanical nature of mid-century emblems cut from metal.
