Today we say goodbye to this great blue bird
This logo was designed in 2012 by a team of three.
@toddwaterbury
,
@angyche
and myself,
The logo was designed to be simple, balanced, and legible at very small sizes, almost like a lowercase "e", a 🧵

Sometime in March we had an approved bird and it launched in May of 2012.
This little blue bird did so much over the last 11 years, 🫡

There was essentially no brief, other than we want a new bird, and it should be as good as the Apple and Nike logo. Twitter had made some sort of flying goose - but Jack wanted something simpler

From that point on we really spent our time perfecting every little detail... so that it felt balanced, and visible as a bird at the smallest of sizes.

So, I just started drawing birds.
Drawing is one of the quickest ways to understand how the shapes can work together

I was also trying to capture the motion of birds, and the shape that profile created led us to play with that round belly in the 3rd and 4th sketches

a temporary arrangement of material
is a project about art-making, the space in between digital and analog; and the fragmented and aggregated images we encounter every day...
We started with a pile of colorful spray painted paper...

This is such a great grouping to show the variety we were able to generate from just 3 letters. Working with Vera takes you to the extremes of what the machine will do. I love to see these together ♥️🥰
