Wordless Logos

The 'You Took My Name' Series Focuses on Brands' Graphics

— April 6, 2011 — Pop Culture
The 'You Took My Name' collection by Dorothy group features iconic logos sans their iconic names.

The interesting series features iconic graphic logos from massive companies such as Coca-Cola, Mastercard, Kodak, Levi's and Heineken. The series takes away the written components of the logo, making the viewer contemplate where have they seen this design before. The 'You Took My Name' collection is simply painted on canvas. The artists behind this Dorothy collection say that their idea is centered around "Creating pieces that we think are artworks in their own right." The artists truly test the amount of brand recognition consumers may or may not have without the written word.

Now if anyone would like to tell me what the yellow flower may be from, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Trend Themes
1. Visual Brand Recognition - The 'You Took My Name' series explores the recognition of iconic graphic logos without their names, highlighting the importance of visual elements in brand identity.
2. Brand Name Deprioritization - By removing the written components of logos, the series challenges the traditional emphasis on brand names, opening up opportunities for new forms of brand communication.
3. Logo as Artwork - The artists behind the 'You Took My Name' collection aim to transform logos into standalone artworks, potentially disrupting the boundary between commercial design and fine art.
Industry Implications
1. Advertising and Marketing - The series prompts advertisers and marketers to reconsider the balance between logo design and brand name recognition, potentially leading to innovative approaches in visual advertising.
2. Graphic Design - The 'You Took My Name' collection sparks discussions among graphic designers about the power of visual elements in establishing brand identity, potentially driving innovative design strategies.
3. Art Galleries - By elevating logos to the status of artworks, the collection offers new possibilities for collaborations between art galleries and brands, creating disruptive experiences for both art enthusiasts and consumers.
