Quotes

  • It was a real constraint at first, in the sense that we almost never work this way.
  • By immersing ourselves in Glénat's immense heritage, we were able to tame this logo and consider it as part of the publisher's heritage.
  • The graphic simplicity of the new identity allows it to transcend time and move away from ephemeral trend effects.
  • Typefaces made to provoke surprise, break new ground and draw new contours.
  • We wanted the identity to inspire a particular vibration, rather than simply convey a message.
  • We firmly believe in the power of typography to convey everything that shapes an entity.
  • This rhythmic pattern offered an interesting tension between refinement and brutalism.
  • It was obvious to us that we needed to make the letters resonate with this name, while giving it a contemporary and urban resonance.
  • The conclusion we came to was that if we followed this path, the identity would risk being very classic and a bit lame, so we chose to take a different path and play with the name, even if it meant creating a contrast.
  • We did not want to cannibalise the products with too many visual codes. This logo acts as a signature, and the colour is brought by the products and the photography.
