The effect of logos on us 7:58

hace 23 días7:58

I was intrigued by a conversation that I overheard at an event that I was attending. The subject was a guy who was telling people about how he believed that we could potentize water with a symbol. Hence I started to write my book called The Logo Decoded on how to explore the effect that symbols and particularly logo types could have on us. In this podcast, I explain why I intuitively feel that there is so much more to the intention behind logos that we must pay attention to for our own wellbeing.…

How I got here 6:25

I’ve always been a graphic designer and I’ve worked with some of the really great design groups in London. Then I started my own career and got to that stage, which so many of us do, when we start thinking ‘is this all there is to do with life?’. So I began to explore other ways of influencing people and maybe that’s one of the things we like, as we do in design, is that we’re able to influence the way that people think, but it didn’t feel like it was getting people to the place, or the planet to the place, where I wanted it to be. In this podcast, I talk about how I was led to develop the idea that we can use logos personally to create the life we want.…

Logos are much more than identifying an organisation or a brand, and it is much more than a visual image. I believe that logos have an inherent value to them. There’s something that one can say has a mind, body and spirit. Then we also have this, what I call, a spiritual value where one can argue does a brand have a soul, or does a logo have a soul? Listen to this podcast to find out we can use this when we do our own branding or our own logo to create the future that we want.…
