- And the Eulda goes to…
-
In the world of logo designing, recognition of talent, creativity and design innovation, Eulda or European Logo Design Annual has managed to achieve a status that takes others decades to accomplish, in only two years of its existence. Much of the competition information has already been covered in our previous post about the European Logo Design Annual – 2007. The results, therefore, are hereby announced.
As it turns out, Serbia’s Consumer Society and Citizen Networks’ logo emerged as the ultimate winner in the Best of Europe cateogory. The logo was designed by Jovan Rocanov and Anna Timkov of the Jovan Rocanov, a graphic designing company in Serbia, for Kaffeine Communications, Ukraine.
The logo was designed as part of the consumer awarness campaign and is a simple graphic representation of consumer rights protection. The main idea of the logo was to ‘show the protection of the consumers in the simpliest way’. Hence, the bar code, depicting the rain, and an ordinary umbrella was used as a symbol of protection.
Jovan Rocanov, the art-director of Kaffeine Communications ad agency, has this to say about the logo, “The purpose of “Consumer Society & Citizen Networks” project is to help us, consumers, protect our rights, first of all, through making us aware of these rights. Therefore, I was searching for the most simple and distinct way to show protection in a context of consumption. As the result, I connected two very clear symbols: a bar code - as a symbol of consumption - and an umbrella - as a symbol of protection.”

My comments as I viewed the logos “Wow”, “Yeah, I see it”, “Hmm…creative”, [smirk|nod], “Yup, that’s it”. Best of the best…I get it now.
