Colon navigations: University of the Arts London gets a new logo
GET a load of that natty new logo for the University of the Arts London (UAL). It’s £48,000 well invested. The cutting-edge design was created by Domenic Lippa, a UAL alumnus. Lippa explains how he came up with the wonder:
“The colon is the connection between UAL and the completion of the identity. A variety of colleges and variety of creativities exist. So it’s quite a challenge for us. This is a sort of new generation of our expression for the university.”
Colons can do that. Minami Takahashi, a student of Foundation Art and Design at Central Saint Martins, approves:
“Though £48,000 seems expensive for creating a logo, the new logo will bring a fresh feeling to the place and give me more motivation to study.”
Anyone who needs a new logo, and can’t find a stencil kit, can get in touch:::::::::::

Says town councillor – get this - Paul Crabb (more nominative determinism, folks): “The squiggle is what your mind’s eye makes of it. It’s a way of making us feel fresh and vibrant. I think the inspiration came from the way Fore Street winds down to the harbour. If nothing else it could do wonders for our growing hen and stag night businesses.”... County council spokeswoman Ellen Vernon said: “It reflects the harbour, waves, fish and ice cream. Before we finished it we knew some people thought it was like a sperm. But you can’t please everyone.”
