COLORBLIND
Sometimes clusters of a logo technique surface with little if
any rationale. For this bracket, it's as if National Geographic
just reported the recent unearthing of a series of Ishihara color
plates for color blind testing. The influence is obvious but the
timing is unexplained. You have to admire the chutzpah of a
client willing to adopt a logo that 7% of the male population
and 0.4% of women won't be able to understand.
Maybe this is exactly the point. These marks represent a quirkiness
associated with entities that only a certain percent of the
population will be able to really appreciate. Even for individuals
without color blindness, these visuals can be a bit
challenging to decipher. But that adds to their mystique and
helps to build affinity for the logos when the viewer realizes he
has passed the test. Either way, there is a joyful, reminiscent
charm at work here — either that or this report is entirely
wrong and these companies all sell Dippin' Dots ice cream.
