Researching how I can use Symbolism, to convey my list.

Logo Modernism by Taschen.

I went to my local library and took out a book called Logo Modernism. I thought this would help me idea generate, inspire what i can create. Logo Modernism is a book that explores the evolution of modernist logo design from 1940 to 1980. It showcases thousands of logos that follow minimalist, geometric, and functional design principles. The book highlights how modernist ideals, like simplicity and clarity. It also examines the historical impact of these logos. Which is something I was advised to focus on in my last tutorial, history. Logo Modernism is a valuable resource for designers interested in the power of bold branding or symbolism, which is exactly what ii was looking for.

I have scanned in on my phone some particular pieces in the book that i was interested in looking into a little further. Researching what the company do and figuring out why they chose this symbol to represent there business.

Vallecchi Editore, 1973.

The Vallecchi Editore children's book logo from 1973, designed by Mimmo Castellano, uses small dots to create the text "B-13." It looks like early digital writing or a learning tool, which could connect to how children learn through patterns. The simple and clean design makes it easy to read while also feeling playful. This style fits with modernist design, which focuses on clear and practical visuals. The logo may have been created to feel fun and educational, making it a good match for a children’s book.

Secretaria de Educacao e Cultura do Estado Guanabara, 1969.

This logo, designed by Aristo Rabin in 1969 for the Ministry of Education and Culture in Guanabara, Brazil, is made up of a grid of evenly spaced dots. The structured layout suggests order, organization, and knowledge, important qualities for an education. The repetition of simple shapes could represent a system of learning, growth, and unity. The modernist style keeps the design clear and functional while still feeling visually engaging. The use of circles might could also symbolize inclusivity.

N. Busquets, 1971.

This logo for N. Busquets, designed by Enric Huguet in 1971 for a plumbing company, uses a custom typeface with rounded, interconnected letters. The smooth, flowing shapes resemble the movement of water through pipes, making it a clever visual representation of plumbing. The bold, modernist style keeps it simple and easy to read while maintaining a unique character. The connected letters might also symbolize reliability, a quality that are important in plumbing.
