Common Ground Travel Logo

Posted on by

Logos are the face of your company, even more so for a small, local companies. Take New York City-based group, Common Ground Travel that specializes in taking children’s dance troupes overseas. When Wolfgang Bäumler, the local representaive of Common Ground Travel, first visited the Miniboom studios in November 2009, he came with a solid goal – a colorful design to represent the child-like spirit of the type of travel he and the young dancers took. In this case, American dance students would be brought to festivals in Germany and France, or vice versa. As such, the design had to be whimsical and child-like while still giving the feeling of movement.

Within a week, Mr. Bäumler received the first designs. After a few revisions, we were able to settle on this colorful design. After each revision, Mr. Bäumler was notified. No revision took more than a day or two at most.

The design now graces the Common Ground Web site along with a full logo identity package including letterhead and businesscards, indispensible in the modern business world. There are also unlimited sizes, variations, resolutions and formats to choose from. In addition, Miniboom promises to provide any other additional format upon request for a period of up to two years.

The design was made in Adobe Illustrator, a combination of free-drawing and modifying already existing vector graphics. The font used in the design is ITC book, narrow and black – the “Chanel” font. The font was then stretched modified under the direction of the designer and in accordance with the overall design of the aforementioned materials.

Under construction

The law firm of Anna Ottenhoff, Natacha Britsch and Patrice Selly, avocats à la cour, needed a Web site that would not only reflect their commitment to the people, but also as an informative stop off point for the many people they advocate for. This Paris-based law firm specializes in immigration law and advocacy. To serve this population, it was important to launch the Web site with bi-lingual capabilities.

Multiple pages direct to the main, with different sections related to the different areas of law covered. This simple HTML format uses PHP to move from French to English texts and vice versa. Javascript is used on several pages as an added design trait with a picture slide show of those the firm has won cases for. Drop down menus also reflect XHTML uses.

The firm also requested logo design. Starting with the tri-color theme, Miniboom came upon this design in cool contemporary colors that mirrored the Web site. A simple circle in the middle as a symbol of continuity. This very minimal logo design is now used on letterhead, envelopes, business cards and signs. In this case, a clear identity is key.

The Internet is forever. A terrifying prospect, indeed. But if data on the Web has an infinite shelf life, do the same rules and ethics abide as in the real world? They do, says computer programmer and digital artist Zach Gage.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Where does it come from?

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing.

  • qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet
  • vel illum qui dolorem
  • consectetur, adipisci velit

All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.

Where can i get some?

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
