Monograms

Television Associates logo

How can the initials TA also say TV?

Television Associates logo

“A typical problem, in that it involves two unrelated subjects: Television Associates wanted to use the initials, TA as a logo. Instead of trying to do a trendy, graphically exciting monogram, which doesn’t communicate anything, I made the problem more interesting.”

Shown in Bob Gill’s Graphic Design as a Second Language.

Design:

Define problem.
Solve problem.

It’s such a simple approach. Bob gill was brilliant at redefining the brief. It always contained the answer.

And yet there seems to be an emphasis, especially in marketing, on making things complicated.
