made in house

fait_maison_logo

the french are proud of their gastronomic heritage and in an effort to combat the growing trend of restaurants (apparently almost in 1 in 3) that re-heat (i.e. microwave) pre-cooked meals the ministry of economy and finance have issued a new logo that aims to show which restaurants make freshly prepared food and thus expose those that don’t…

the plan has come in for much criticism in france

the final logo is, in itself, a good example of a fairly good idea that hasn’t been executed well (for example compared to the airbnb logo, which i wrote about a few days ago)

triple A rating

airbnb_revamp_1

the new airbnb identity revamp is all over the place this week, to read more about the why and how just google it

i think the strategy change, the story and especially the new logo is smart, relevant and really well executed; even the choice of a red-ish pink colour is offbeat and different in a world of facebook blue… nicely done
