Was nog even bij Quark.com en las dit verhaal over hun nieuwe, logo (inmiddels alweer oud)
New logo, new identity systemThe new logo is a combination of pure geometric forms that suggests a stylized Q in a vibrant green that evokes energy and vitality.
Its fresh, inviting, and open, said Glen Turpin, Quarks director of corporate communications. Its radically different from our old logo. Thats why its the perfect symbol for the new Quark. Our company has changed dramatically. Like our new logo, once people catch a glimpse of who we are today and where were going, well be impossible to ignore.
The logo was designed by SicolaMartin, a division of Young & Rubicam Brands. This really was an incredible opportunity for us, as an agency. We specialize in high-tech clients, so usually were doing work that speaks to IT professionals. To get to actually target designers, art directors, and creative professionals was a really fun challenge for us, said Steve Martin, senior vice president and executive creative director at SicolaMartin. Not only that, but to have the freedom to re-brand such a well-known company as Quark and to create a new logo for them, as well? We were excited.
het bureau die het logo heeft ontworpen is dus:

Ik herriner me dat dit symbool uit het lettertype van FUSE komt, ik ga het nog uitzoeken, zo ben ik ook de 'A' van Achmea tegen gekomen uit de collectie van FUSE (zeer geliefde font collectie voor mij)
Dus ik denk dat het reclame bureau het niet gejat heeft maar eerder dezelfde symbool gebruikt, alleen de midden circel iets groter gemaakt, wat me wel opvalt is dat ze in de portfolio de 'Q' als schets vertonen en dat is wel een misleiding......
