Xerox today unveiled the most sweeping changes to its logo and brand in the companyss history. This morning CEO Anne Mulcahy and president Ursula Burns hosted a town hall meeting and live webcast that first revealed the new logo and brand identity to Xerox’s 57,000 global employees.
Developed with Interbrand, the new identity is a big departure from previous changes to the brand. The new logo better reflects Xerox today, a company that has transformed itself in recent years far beyond its roots in copier systems. The new design is meant to make people pause, and take a new look at the iconic brand.
You can see the full press release and the new brand identity, including the new wordmark with symbol at www.xerox.com/news. There you will also get a preview of changes that will take place tonight on the Xerox website, when it goes live. The company’s award-winning advertising will be updated immediately. Xerox will start changing the logo on products, facilities, vehicles and marketing materials over the next 18 months.

Guest room design by Lucio Santos for the James Hotel on 57th Street, Manhattan. I believe this is just a rendering. WOW, what program gives these results?

I love the simplicity and bold communication behind this series. Each book has its own distinct visual, but also a very strong visual cohesiveness. Helen Yentus, the designer, stated that she wanted to “reflect the time when these books were written but also to hold on to a contemporary aesthetic that hopefully won’t feel dated in a few years.” These do have a sustainable vintage appeal to them.

— with no pretty slides behind him — Philippe Starck spends 17 minutes reaching for the very roots of the question “Why design?” Along the way he drops brilliant insights into the human condition; listen carefully for one perfectly crystallized motto for all of us, genius or not. Yet all this deep thought, he cheerfully admits, is to aid in the design of a better toothbrush. (Recorded March 2007 in Monterey, California. Duration: 17:07.)

Perhaps one of my favorite contemporary photographers is Edward Burtynsky.
In his own words:
Nature transformed through industry is a predominant theme in my work. I set course to intersect with a contemporary view of the great ages of man; from stone, to minerals, oil, transportation, silicon, and so on. To make these ideas visible I search for subjects that are rich in detail and scale yet open in their meaning. Recycling yards, mine tailings, quarries and refineries are all places that are outside of our normal experience, yet we partake of their output on a daily basis.These images are meant as metaphors to the dilemma of our modern existence; they search for a dialogue between attraction and repulsion, seduction and fear. We are drawn by desire – a chance at good living, yet we are consciously or unconsciously aware that the world is suffering for our success. Our dependence on nature to provide the materials for our consumption and our concern for the health of our planet sets us into an uneasy contradiction. For me, these images function as reflecting pools of our times.Edward Burtynsky
