Jigsaw

Lovely work by Pentagram partner Emily Oberman for Jigsaw, the production company of the Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney.

Jigsaw logo

“Jigsaw’s name is inspired by the ‘jigsaw’ teaching technique, which makes each student in a class responsible for a different aspect of knowledge of a particular subject. The various perspectives come together to form a full picture and elevate the level of education for all. Gibney uses a similar collaborative strategy in his documentaries, assembling multiple points of view to tell complex stories.”

Josten Dooley,

I really like the playfulness of this logo. Also how it has the letters cut off as if its been cut by a jigsaw.

Ronald,

I am a huge fan of simple logos that have simple meanings.

I love how you can still read what the logotype says with half of each letter missing.
