背景故事 (Backstory)

This was the first logo I created for WeLoveNoise back in 2009 which I affectionately called “the bleeding heart”. It was heavily inspired by the disruptive design movement of the 90s/00s where designers, artists and studios such as David Carson, Stefan Sagmiester, Joshua Davis and the Designers Republic would often challenge standard conventions and create impactful work that was beautiful, expressive, unique and meaningful.

这是我在2009年为WeLoveNoise创建的第一个徽标,被我亲切地称为“流血的心脏”。 它在很大程度上受到90年代/ 20年代颠覆性设计运动的启发,在该运动中,大卫·卡森(David Carson),斯特凡·萨格米斯特(Stefan Sagmiester),约书亚·戴维斯(Joshua Davis)和设计师共和国(Designers Republic)等设计师,艺术家和工作室经常挑战标准惯例并创造出具有影响力的,精美,富有表现力,独特的作品和有意义的。

It’s this blend of design, art and experimentation that I still find so inspiring today. So back in 2009, I wanted my own brand identity to be something that embodied all those characteristics.

今天,仍然是设计,艺术和实验的融合,我仍然感到鼓舞。 所以回到2009年,我希望自己的品牌形象能够体现所有这些特征。

Not to dive too deep into my old logo because looking at it now gives me a somewhat nauseous feeling (due to all its flaws), but I still love what that mark stood for. It was the first piece of brand work that I truly had an emotional attachment towards.

不要深入我的旧徽标,因为现在看它会给我一种令人恶心的感觉(由于它的所有缺陷),但是我仍然喜欢那个标志的含义。 这是我真正对品牌产生情感依恋的第一件作品。

To break it down;

分解

  • The heart represents the love in WeLoveNoise

    心脏代表我们噪音中的

  • The displaced forms exploding out of the heart are a nod to the music equalizer to represent Noise.

    发自内心的流离失所的形式是对音乐均衡器表示敬意的代表噪音

  • The entire process of making this logo was very experimental

    制作此徽标的整个过程都是实验性的

It’s by no means groundbreaking, but it was unique and meaningful to me and still holds a special place in my heart (no pun intended). The name WeLoveNoise is actually a cryptic way of saying I Love Design without being so literal about it, so the heart plays a big part in communicating the rationale.

这绝不是开创性的,但是对我而言,它是独特而有意义的,并且在我心中仍然占有特殊的位置(无双关语)。 WeLoveNoise这个名字实际上是一个隐晦的说法,我不那么直言不讳地表达我爱设计,因此,在传达基本原理方面,心脏起着很大的作用。

这是怎么回事 (Where’s this going?)

Over the years I’ve thought about redrawing this logo many times (and have many different explorations in development) but about two years ago, I became the father of an adorable little girl and everything changed.

多年来,我考虑过多次重绘此徽标(并且在开发中有许多不同的探索),但是大约两年前,我成为了一个可爱的小女孩的父亲,一切都变了。

Admittedly, I wasn’t ready to have a kid. I’d never really held one and I was useless at interacting with them. Over the last two years, my little Faye has taught me to open up, stop giving a shit, take risks and live in the moment. She’s transformed me in a way I’d never thought. Something you can’t put a price on and can’t say thank you enough for.

诚然,我还没准备好要孩子。 我从来没有真正抱过一个人,与他们互动毫无用处。 在过去的两年中,我的小小Faye教会了我开放,停止屎,冒险和活在当下的一切。 她以我从未想过的方式改变了我。 您无法为此付出代价,也无法说谢谢您。

To that end, and as I embark on creating a new portfolio I couldn’t help but wonder if the bleeding heart is still applicable to me. Eventually I came to the realization that although I still love the logo… I love Faye way more. So I wanted to prove it in a way that’s meaningful to me and decided to transfer the heart from my logo it into Faye’s new one.

为此,当我开始创建新的投资组合时,我不禁要问,流血的心脏是否仍然适用于我。 最终,我意识到尽管我仍然喜欢徽标,但我更喜欢Faye。 因此,我想以一种对我有意义的方式对其进行证明,因此决定将其徽标的心脏转移到Faye的新徽标中。

在这里是:“羽毛鸟” (Here it is: “Birds of a Feather“)

The (idiomatic) phrase “birds of a feather” meaning “people having similar characters, backgrounds, interests, or beliefs”. In old poetic English, “birds of a feather” means birds which have the same kind of feathers, so the proverb refers to the fact that birds congregate with birds of their own species.

(惯用的)短语“羽毛鸟”的意思是“具有相似特征,背景,兴趣或信仰的人”。 在古老的诗歌英语中,“羽毛鸟”是指羽毛相同的鸟,因此谚语指的是鸟类与自己的鸟类聚在一起的事实。

The logo is constructed by a series of feathers (map pointy shapes) that come together to form the letter F for “Faye”. It’s then duplicated and flipped to create another F for “Finch”. Finally those two letters are snapped together to create the love heart.

徽标由一系列羽毛(地图尖头形状)构成,这些羽毛在一起形成“ Faye”的字母F。 然后将其复制并翻转以为“ Finch”创建另一个F。 最后,将这两个字母拼凑在一起,以创造出爱的心。

The shapes I used were inspired by the feathers of a bird because Finch is our family name.

我使用的形状灵感来自鸟的羽毛,因为Finch是我们的姓氏。

I used the primitive elements of the mark to create other pieces of art such as posters, a typeface, patterns and illustrations.

我使用商标的原始元素来创作其他艺术品,例如海报,字体,图案和插图。

I don’t expect Faye will ever use this in the future and to be honest, Idon’t think I’ll ever suggest it either. This is really just a piece of poetic art — my small gift to her.

我不希望Faye将来会使用它,并且说实话,我也不认为我会建议。 这实际上只是一件诗意的艺术,这是我送给她的小礼物。

I plan on adding a more detailed case study of this project with lots more to show but for now, hopefully you’ve enjoyed reading this little piece. I’ll leave you with this montage I made for her 2nd birthday.

我计划为这个项目添加一个更详细的案例研究,并展示更多内容,但是到目前为止,希望您喜欢阅读这一小篇幅。 我会把你为她二岁生日制作的蒙太奇照片留给你。

Special thanks to Mike Forst, the talented audio designer who took my self-composed tune and brought it to life (this still makes my heart melt — no pun intended).

特别感谢迈克·福斯特 ( Mike Forst) ,他是一位才华横溢的音频设计师,他将我自己创作的曲调带入了现实(这仍然使我的心融化,没有双关语。

如果您想知道…… (If you’re wondering…)

Here’s what WeLoveNoise logo now looks like.The new mark has a double meaning. It continues to use the music equalizer metaphor from the original logo but I have synonymously made it look more like an elevated heart monitor reading, which feels more fitting for the type of work I do these days, creating delightful, exciting and uplifting experiences.

这是WeLoveNoise徽标的外观,新商标具有双重含义。 它继续使用原始徽标中的音乐均衡器隐喻,但我的代名词是使它看起来更像是心脏监测仪的读数,它感觉更适合我如今从事的工作类型,创造了令人愉悦,令人兴奋和振奋的体验。

Additionally, if you look hard enough, you should be able toidentify the cryptic letters W L N.

此外,如果您看起来足够努力,则应该能够识别出隐含字母WLN。
