Oftentimes, the simple designs are the ones that make the biggest splash. From the hippy Happy Face, to the black silhouettes of iPod users, both have definite staying power. Brands are made and broken based upon the amount of money they throw into advertising, marketing and product design. But can a brand be truly successful without an amazing logo, or graphical extensions. I mean, can you imagine what would happen if McDonald’s had a different logo, sans golden arches, or even sans a “McD”? Of course you can’t.
When I came across Byrogliphics, I was instantly reminded of the iPod commercials. You know the ones with someone’s silhouette dancing against some flashy neon background with the trademark white headphones rammed in their auditory canals. Now I’m certainly not suggesting that artist Russ Mills stole this idea from Apple, but perhaps they could borrow a page from him and take their already successful iPod campaign to the next level. I’m envisioning the same silhouettes, but with some cloudy decay, random spatter marks and streaky marks indicative of motion. Check out his portfolio for some truly amazing stuff.
