Last Airbender, a popular TV series shown on Nickelodeon. The A used is a decorative font-type which promotes a hand-painted feel. The shape of the font is bold and creates a strong feel which would be appropriate for a title. Its very decorative and doesnt fit Dove skin care uses Civita Light Italic to creat its logo. The D is quite fluent and curvy. It reflects the product itself which specialises in products to make your skin smooth. The font is able to give this smooth feel through the use of large bowls and open counterspace.
The Coca Cola logo has become one of the most
recognised and successfullogos in the world. It uses a very decorative fonttype which incorporates swashs and long bodies to create a script font. Nurofen uses a very round Sans Serif font with a sharp apex on the N. The use of smooth shoulders and sharp foot creates a unique feel to the font-type. The font is bold which is complimented by the bright red to create a logo which will grab peoples attention.
Smiths chips use a strong sherif typeface with subtle spurs on
each of the ends. This font uses a strongs and straight styl with little curves even in the S. The design of this typeface makes it perfect for the front of packaging and should successfully capture customers attention.
The Astro logo uses a
futuristic decorative font to stylise its design and create a modern and sophisticated feel. Using a mix of smooth and sharp shoulders and slanting the majority of the typeface to the right the font moves your eyes from left to right.
The font used in the Deadpool movie
logo uses a blocky decorative typeface. It uses very large and thick strokes which create the boldness and hard edges. There is very little counterspace and the designer has since added a 3D effect to create depth within the image.
The Vaio logo used on Sony laptops uses
a very smooth and fluent typeface. The decorative style uses long curves on the shoulders and a unique crossbar within the A. The font breaks traditional styles to create a futuristic environment which compliments the metallic finish the designer has given it. Curbcandy uses a bubble-like typface to convey its product. The decoractice font uses smooth edges the entire way around. The designer has helped convey the candy message by adding highlights to the font.
One of the most iconic fonts in the
world comes from one of the most icon televisions shows. The Simpsons use a hand-written font to convey their message that this family isnt organised. The font uses rough strokes with very little work done to shape or design of the font itself. I find it ironic in a sense that one of the most icon use of typography is one of the easiest to create.
