Logos and Epiphany:
Symmetry and Mirroring
Logo design by Anton Stankowski
"...
at the beginning of the thirties... Stankowski began to work as a typographer and
graphic designer in a Zurich advertising agency. Together with a group
of friends-- they were later to be known as the 'Zurich Concretists'--
he explored the possibilities of symmetry and mirroring in the graphic
arts. Stankowski experimented with squares and diagonals, making them
the hallmarks of his art. Of his now world-famous logo for the Deutsche
Bank-- the soaring diagonal in the stable square-- he proudly said in
1974: 'The company logo is a trade-mark that sends out a signal.'"-- Deutsche Bank Collection

Sunday, 19 August 2007 09:21--"Two New York fire fighters were killed while trying to douse a blaze in the former Deutsche Bank building in the city.
The fire broke out on 14th and 15th floors yesterday afternoon and
spread to several floors before it was brought under control about five
hours later.The building had been heavily damaged during the 11 September, 2001 terrorist attacks.
The building, which was damaged by falling debris of the twin towers
that had collapsed in 2001 when terrorists flew hijacked planes into
them, was being 'deconstructed' to make way for construction of a new
Freedom Tower."Related material

the lowest of the low if it can't buy a cheap epiphany?
