Some times ago, while I was watching an episode of Mad Men - a TV series sets in 1960s that tells about a fiction advertising company called Sterling & Cooper - I get a huge inspiration. More than to follow passionately the story of its controversial characters (such as the charming Don Draper) and to have good cues about the hypocrisies of a society such as the 1960s' one, this series is for me a continuous source of historical knowledge about logos and brands. Some of them are for me simply wonderful for their cuteness and grace, a kind of quintessence of how a logo should be. For instance, I discovered the logo of Utz chips: I had never seen it before, nor ever tried them, but the little girl who represents is really modern, able to express a high grade of simplification that is, using Leonardo da Vinci's words, the "ultimate form of sophistication". And my idea was that: to open a little space in this blog in which I show hand carved rubber stamps inspired directly from timeless vintage brands...
And using this hand carved rubber stamps I produces some tags, to be used for instance as bookmarks, that you can find on my etsy. I hope you like them...
