I've not read all the preceding stuff, but as some recognition of the fundamental brilliance with which you have been engaged, I suggest that, to take this thread up to the significant 1000 post mark, those of you who care so deeply should design a logo for the brand "TJ."

GrahamSTJ has already explicitly said he doesn't own ANY branded products.
No I have not as you have repeatedly been told.

Branding does work on you. You have said you will buy red bull as you know that you quite like it. You can spot it in the shop because of the branding which is what branding is all about. its ment to make your company/product reconisable from others and at a distance. not all brands are trying to sell you stuff there are many charities who use branding and go to great lenghts to protect this such as WWF.

This would appear to be one of the better humoured threads I've seen, no name calling, no shouting down just simple debate. Boring, yet simple debate and nothing more.
elf - i am more than happy to see a logo as a nice picture that acts a shorthand for the word that is the name of the product. Want I wont accept is that it has meaning beyond this that the whole world understands. its just a picture to denote a product that is easily recognised hence on of the earliest and IMHO best is [img]

The red triangle was used on the beer pumps in the days when most folk were illiterate so they knew which one to ask for. easily recognisable, nothing more than that. the epitome of a good logo
> TJ has already explicitly said he doesn't own ANY branded products.No I have not as you have repeatedly been told.
Right well this will be another one of those clarifications then TJ.
You previously said and I quote:
i don't own branded goods.
So can you clarify what that actually means please?

With a big pair of Bombers! PWNAGE!
you are quoting him out of context 😉
You did say it TJ but I think you probably meant it more as I dont buy goods for the brand. Nonetheless you did say it.
"any". thats the difference. That and other posts that clarified this ages ago. Immediately I posted that I was pulled up on it and clarified it and have done many times since.
So can you clarify what that actually means please?
Is this the bit where we have to say that all goods have a name therefore have a brand (from Aldi to Rapha), and people are getting their knickers in a twist over marketing and sales rather than brands and logos?
Or is it just me?
getting close to the thousand chaps - keep it up. ~Does Logorrhoea mean too many logos?

you know you would if you had Mod-ship 😉
As we near the magic thousand I can detect a Waco kinda vibe I feel...

I like this.
And I really like negative space used well in logos

It was weird in that a friend of mine only just realised the Carrefour logo was a "C" whereas I've always seen it.
"any". thats the difference.
Silly me 🙄
Fair enough. By the same logic I don't own shoes or socks.
Any other [i]unusual[/i] uses of English you'd like to submit, possibly to explain the last lot of quotes where it sounds a lot like you claim you are completely immune to all branding, which you then later deny?
That and the dozen posts clarifying it one of which was not long before. And the context.

I reckon the band 'Kiss' must be one of the most successful brands globally.
Simple logo, easy to scrawl on walls and excercise books worldwide.
Hate their music but Gene Simmons is one hell of a businessman.

Bass logo. excellent choice, such a good design that even the illiterate can recognise it.
hang on, isnt it only the 'arty farty' intelligentsia [i]who are into all this winky stuff[/i].... that it would mean anything to?

Hasn't anyone got any examples of logos in foreign language, that you know immediately to be the brand?

I was doing two things here espousing a veiwpoint and set of values that I hold and many of you have clearly never seen and poking the pretentious with s pointed stick
That is bolx.
Of course we've seen these values. What do you think we are, children? Many of us are very worldly wise.
Want I wont accept is that it has meaning beyond this that the whole world understands
Of course not - that's not what we are saying!
Logos and commercial design are obviously not pre-arranged coded messages.
It is a way of drawing upon associations in people's minds to ATTEMPT to promote certain emotions. They may or may not achieve this.
Pook.....genuine lol.
....and I really don't know why.

Molgrips - judging by the fact that so many folk deny its possible then I thought they had never seen it.
as for the extended meaning - thats precisely what was claimed that brought me into this.
hang on, isnt it only the 'arty farty' intelligentsia who are into all this winky stuff.... that it would mean anything to?
den - thats the "hidden meanings" in the font shapes and colours - not the simple meaning - red triangle = bass beer. people were claiming all sorts of hidden meanings in the colours, the shapes and the fonts used
How many posts left now for the tennnundred 🙂
EDIT
TandemJeremy - Memberpeople were claiming all sorts of hidden meanings in the colours, the shapes and the fonts used
I thought it was subconscious associations rather than hidden meanings.....
Pook's first image has just won teh interwebz!

Care to quote me those posts? I saw the one about the jacket, where you conceded you owned that, but it was a gift. That was it. Where are the other 11?

what, like an arrow above the N in garmin looks a bit like a north point?
FARRRRRRR OUT MAAAAAAAAAHNNNNNN 😆
mastiles_fanylion - Member"Is it just me who sees all these logos as really winky?
all it needs to do is tell you what the company is."
But just *how* you do it can give a very different impression of the brand...
mastiles_fanylion - MemberOr of course we could look at stacking/weight combinations - the simple bold one suggests maybe you are in construction or engineering or something, the fine cut males you look like a hairdresser
Talking aboiut tandemjeremy in 5 different fonts
stumpy01 - MemberFrom M-F's original TandemJeremy selection:
1 - TJ owns a yacht and ponces around the marina a lot with a jumper hung over his shoulders
2 - TJ is a computer repair man
3 - TJ is a builder or sells rugged clothing to the construction industry
4 - TJ has a photograpy website & does 'bespoke artwork'
5 - TJ is a kid's entertainer or author of children's books.
Quite amazing actually what those different fonts convey!
