WHAT IF COMPANY LOGOS WERE HONEST?

What would happen if large corporations actually ran their companies with our best interests in mind? Their logos might look a bit more like these new editions in design wiz Viktor Hertz’s ongoing series: Honest Logos. Each design remixes the original, replacing their name with something more closely representing a stereotype behind what the company really brings to the world. The results are as refreshing as a grande caramel-mocha Frappuccino with whipped-cream and caramel drizzle… but a whole lot less fattening.

We’ve covered Viktor Hertz’s work before, but he continues to impress with his originality and cleanly executed aesthetic. The Sweden based designer does quite a bit of this type of ‘adbusting’, but other subjects don’t escape similar treatment: his cleverly remixed movie posters are often better than the originals. You can see more work by Hertz on his extensive flickr page or follow him on Twitter

Below you’ll find a selection of Viktor’s older “adbusts” from the series:

DISNEY HEROINES COME TO LIFE

Disney characters are iconic and have the magic quality of bringing back pleasant memories of the time we first saw them: whether at a cinema, one of the theme parks around the world or as a childhood toy. In Disney’s animated feature films their diverse characters have been seen all over the world and one graphic design student from Finland has created his own characterization of the loved Disney female leads.

Jirka (pronounced Yirka, not Jerk-a) Väätäinen is a 2nd year graphic design student at the Arts University College at Bournemouth in the U.K. He began experimenting with Disney characters using photo manipulation and began posting them on his blog. To his surprise, he found a great many people enjoying his perspective and began emailing him to do more. After many requests for certain characters, Jirka would do a piece and post them. He had since done about 15 female characters and is still doing more.
