Sedelmaier Tue, 25 Oct 2011 21:03:06 +0000 http://keengraphics.net/keenblog/?p=160#comment-117 You're so right about how Pick's work has influenced the branding tool. Look at MTV and their ID's from the 80-90's. All different styles and techniques but always punctuated by the MTV logo. They could present a general sensibility and still it resulted in a concrete idea of what the network was about. The LU pioneered this I think. MTV, Nike, Altoids. . . they all benefited from the confidence, patience and understanding of how to sculpt an image. You’re so right about how Pick’s work has influenced the branding tool.

Mr. Pick was an extraordinary patron of the arts, and his commitment to progressive design did more than improve London Transport's corporate image; the posters especially served very much as "art for the people", exposing London's citizenry to new ways of understanding imagery, and vastly expanding their vocabulary and understanding of modern art movements. His pioneering vision of corporate identity is still very much alive; current systems of advertising, PR, and corporate design ethos adhere to the basic systematic visual integration and unification Pick developed for the Underground. I look forward to reading your piece on the Chicago Transit posters! Indeed!

His influence was extraordinary and even extended to Chicago. The turn of the century industrialist Samuel Insull (a former Brit) was undoubtedly inspired by Pick's results with LU when he applied a similar approach to the branding of his utility empire between 1920 and 1930.

"What lies in plain sight" will shock you.

I always find it inspiring when women use their physical bodies in a way other than as something nice to look at. I am a ultra-marathoner, and love seeing other women doing cool things outddors.
