Helvetica by Monotype (@bymonotype.bsky.social), a font that for years has managed to carry its historical weight. When we talk about it, we're not just talking about a font, but a historical symbol in visual communication.

Is it possible for us to have our logo added to the website? 👀
Static visual identity is no longer enough. Brands must be elastic, adaptive, and built to evolve across contexts.

Good morning, Bluesky ☁️
As Walter Landon said, "Products are made in the factory, but brands are created in the mind."
Folio: 9 Heading (in margin): The Beautiful and the Useful Text: (laid out as free verse, while Rand is in poetic mode) Graphic design— which fulfills esthetic needs, complies with the laws of form and the exigencies of two-dimensional space; which speaks in semiotics, sans-serifs, and geometrics; which abstracts, transforms, translates, rotates, dilates, repeats, mirrors, groups, and regroups— is not good design if it is irrelevant. Graphic design— which evokes the symmetria of Vitruvius, the dynamic symmetry of Hambidge, the asymmetry of Mondrian; which is a good gestalt; which is generated by intuition or by computer, by invention or by a system of co-ordinates— is not good design if it does not co-operate as an instrument in the service of communication. Visual communications of any kind, whether persuasive or informative, from billboards to birth announcements, should be seen as the embodiment of form and function: the integration of the beautiful and the useful. In an advertisement, copy, art, and typography are seen as a living entity; each element integrally related, in harmony with the whole, and essential to the execution of the idea. Like a juggler, the designer demonstrates his skills by manipulating these ingredients in a given space. Whether this space takes the form of advertisements, periodicals, books, printed forms, packages, industrial products, signs, or TV billboards, the criteria are the same. That the separation of form and function, of concept and execution, is not likely to produce objects of esthetic value has been repeatedly demonstrated. Similarly, it has been shown that the system which regards esthetics as irrelevant, which separates the artist from his product, (continued in 2nd image)
which fragments the work of the individual, which creates by committee, and which makes mincemeat of the creative process will, in the long run, diminish not only the product but the maker as well. John Dewey, commenting on the relationship between fine art and useful or technological art, says: “That many, perhaps most, of the articles and utensils made at present for use are not genuinely esthetic happens, unfortunately, to be true. But it is true for reasons that are foreign to the relation of the ‘beautiful’ and ‘useful’ as such. Wherever conditions are such as to prevent the act of production from being an experience in which the whole creature is alive and in which he possesses his living through enjoyment, the product will lack something of being esthetic. No matter how useful it is for special and limited ends, it will not be useful in the ultimate degree—that of contributing directly and liberally to an expanding and enriched life.”[1] The esthetic requirements to which Dewey refers are, it seems to me, exemplified in the work of the Shakers. Their religious beliefs provided the fertile soil in which beauty and utility could flourish. Their spiritual needs found expression in the design of fabrics, furniture, and utensils of great esthetic value. These products are a document of the simple life of the people, their asceticism, their restraint, their devotion to fine craftsmanship, and their feeling for proportion, space, and order. Ideally, beauty and utility are mutually generative. In the past, rarely was beauty an end in itself. The magnificent stained glass windows of Chartres were no less utilitarian than was the Parthenon or the Pyramid of Cheops. The function of the exterior decoration of the great Gothic cathedrals was to invite entry; the rose windows inside provided the spiritual mood. Interpreted in the light of our own experiences, this philosophy still prevails. [1. John Dewey Art as Experience, p. 26 Etherial Things]
Emphasising the Dewey quote: John Dewey, commenting on the relationship between fine art and useful or technological art, says: “That many, perhaps most, of the articles and utensils made at present for use are not genuinely esthetic happens, unfortunately, to be true. But it is true for reasons that are foreign to the relation of the ‘beautiful’ and ‘useful’ as such. Wherever conditions are such as to prevent the act of production from being an experience in which the whole creature is alive and in which he possesses his living through enjoyment, the product will lack something of being esthetic. No matter how useful it is for special and limited ends, it will not be useful in the ultimate degree—that of contributing directly and liberally to an expanding and enriched life.”[1] [1.

Paul Rand, "Thoughts on Design":
Paul Rand understood that design is the silent ambassador of a brand. At Formotype, we share this belief that a truly functional system isn't just aesthetic—it's about building a legacy that survives the test of time. Great reference!
One of our most recent collaborations was with Dinamo Typefaces, where we integrated the Favorit font into our brand identity.
This decision came about when Formotype needed a modern, versatile, and simple font. Therefore, Dinamo's Favorit font was the right choice for us.

Ter uma logo não é branding.
Branding é ter uma marca percebida.
Registrar marca não é um errado; Errado é pensar que dispensar a proteção da sua marca é "lucro". #Formotype
