Dear fellow Typophiles,
My idea is to create a logo that can be used on products and things that are made in Latvia (Northern Europe). Logo has to be easy to print/burn/sew on any type of product or thing.
Here is what I have come up with -- madeinlatvia.org (initial draft).
Things worth knowing:
- Latvia is located near the Baltic Sea. It has lots of white sand beaches and wide open fields with blooming meadows and birch and pine tree forests that take up almost 50% of the territory.
- Latvians have inhabited that territory since 900 AD, while the recent history made us live under the flags of various foreign superpowers of which the last one was the Soviet Union.
- Here are some examples of the traditional folk clothing. Most of the design patterns used in clothing and architecture were based in pagan beliefs.
- A lot of the today's graphic design influence comes from the Soviet times.
Concepts used in the logo:
- MADE IN and the thick line below it forms a Latvian flag (two horizontal stripes divided by one white stripe -- 2:1:2).
- Typeface design influenced by Laima chocolate logo, Sakta department store logo and the Sea.
Please let me know your thoughts on the typeface and the spectrum of emotions this logo creates. Thank you.
