Off-White logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Unlike many other companies striving for a unique emblem, the Off-White logo uses motifs that are in no way exclusive.
- In fact, none of the logos is unique – they were borrowed from the Glasgow airport design system developed in the 1960s.
- Meaning and history There’s more than one logo.
- Next, there’re at least three marks consisting of alternating parallel diagonal lines in black and white.
- The third version consists of nineteen lines forming a rectangle.
- Where have the arrow and stripes come from?
- In 1964, the firm Kinneir Calvert Associates developed a design system for the new Glasgow Airport.
- Inspiration behind the symbol So, Abloh just borrowed the two symbols as they were (only replaced yellow stripes with white) and built his own brand on them.
- Could it be a mere coincidence?
- He also holds a master’s degree in architecture, which makes the fact that he hadn’t seen the Glasgow airport design even less likely.
- They designed a font called Rail Alphabet, which could be used in six weights.
- So, even if Abloh was ignorant of the Glasgow airport design system (which is hardly possible), no one can believe that he chose the name of another Calvert’s creation, “Off White,” as the name of his brand by chance.
- Here, one more question arises.
- Font You can come across three versions of the wordmark logo, each using a different type.
