 New EU Organic Products LogoThe European Commission today officially announced the winner of the EU organic logo competition.Over the past two months, some 130,000 people have voted online to choose the new organic symbol from three finalists. The winning design is by Dusan Milenkovic, a student from Germany, who gained 63% of the overall vote for his "Euro-leaf" logo. From 1st July 2010, the organic logo of the EU will be obligatory on all pre-packaged organic products that have been produced in any of the EU Member States and meet the necessary standards. The "Euro-leaf" design shows the EU stars in the shape of a leaf against a green background. It is a very straightforward sign containing two clear messages: Nature and Europe. The winner and the winners of the second and third prize will be honoured by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development at an official award ceremony that will take place in Brussels in July 2010. more New EU Organic Products Logo added by Levent OZLER |
 Painted Words, Tainted Logos: John LangdonFor almost four decades John Langdon has been seeing things in the words of the English language and the names of American businesses and products that most of us might not have even imagined.His logos reveal the essence of a company's soul with clarity, beauty, and wit. His love of type is unexceeded. When existing typefaces will not meet John's needs or expectations, he draws original letterforms - sometimes very original. In the early 1970s, he pioneered the art of ambigrams, recently called "the hottest trend in typography" by Wired Magazine. Painted Words, Tainted Logos presents several of John's paintings - three from his logo manipulation series from 1999 and 2000, and several from his recent and ongoing "mixed symmetries" series. The exhibition will be on display at TDC's offices through February and March. event ends Mar 31, 2010 United States view on map more design events more info tdc.org...
