a manifesto and logo both new and old
This logo accompanies an essay I wrote about the origins, past, and unstoppable future of reproduced music. In the essay I describe how the music of the people—the folk—have always shared their music culture with one another.
I argue that this tendency is more prevelant now than ever with the ease and popularity of the internet. The goal of the mark was to quickly identify the modern and traditional, and how both trains of thought have an openess about them.
Over at Ministry of Type, Aegir Hallmundur saw the logo that I had made to represent the manifestoand had a few thoughts about it. He made some subtle but noticable changes that offer a better optical feel. Thanks for taking a look.
