I'm wondering, what's with the rest of the lettering? There's shading, as if to suggest a 3-D, Pirates of Wherever theme of arrayed long-bones, with the associated connotation of rebellion**. Yet the rectilinear forms of the letters reject any such organicity, and declare their true nature, as strips of smudgy masking tape. Meaning... what???? |
It means someone read a (most likely wildly out of date) book on "photoshop tricks for idiots" and decided that, if they could throw in every last, damn thing they dimly remembered from their cursory perusal of the topic up against the wall in a single logo- regardless of the coherence, impact, or elegance of the final outcome- that in some way their efforts could be considered "graphic design."
But is that surprising in any way?
We're dealing with people who think mis-quotes of popular science magazines, nonsense maths, and a fevered dedication to the gish gallop equals ground breaking scientific discovery.
Of course they think pointless masking tricks, bad font choices and ill-conceived layouts equal edgy, artistic genius.
It's not like they've ever evinced a sense of discernment or perspective in the past, is it?
