Colour Wheel & Colour Combinations

Heres a nice colour wheel


Colour Combinations

Brown & Red



Not the greatest colour combination however it works at christmas.


Blue & sliver



A better colour combination doesn't hurt the eye to look at and has a modern style look to it.

Brand/Logo RE :: Coloured

Change the colours of a brand/logo, how do you feel about the brand now? what associations do they have before and after?

Original BBC logo





Sinister BBC logo



Well the logo now looks more like an evil corparation, its not friendly, it puts fear into to those who look at it. Before the logo looked Respectable very simple, clean and meant no harm to anyone, where as the redesign gives all the opposite impressions.



Original Morrisons logo




Redesigned Morrisons logo



The Morrisons original logo looks nice enough its very bold black standing out against the yellow but also i think quite dated and could do with a redesign bring it into the future. My redesign of the logo does it no favours, infact it makes it look worse i changed the colour to a browny shade of yellow which looks unfresh if your selling food like, beacuse it looks like the colour of moldy banana. Further investigation Morrisons do have another better designed sleaker logo.

Olymipics logo




Olymipics logo Redesign Animated



Well the original Olymipics logo i still don't like and it looks like its from the 1980's a bit like ashes to ashes, but i still think the colours are awful. Ive inverted the colour and animated it so now looks like its having a proper rave.

Colour and The Intangible Exhibition at Djanogly Art Gallery, Lakeside

So Sometime last week, Friday I think went on a cool trip to the Colour and The Intangible Exhibition at Djanogly Art Gallery, Lakeside. Got a few pictures 007 style (they didn't like people taking pictures) so I'm going to write about one picture which I could get a decent picture of, which is the one which looks like its of a old BT advert...

So what was the Artist thinking about when he/she Designed the spinning vortex of colour? Well one possibility is that they had seen a BT commercial from a while back which looks very similar to the Artists work, so that could be one of the things which influenced them. The Artist was trying to make the colours stand out from the background making it a more striking image, attracting the viewer into the picture. The artist has initially only used the 3 primary colours and as the specks of light cross then you see the other colours made by mixing of 2 primary colours. If you were to interpret the image I think a good way to describe it would be to say that if you have these these things were are fine by themselves but then bring them together and mix them up to get something new and maybe even better.
