Here’s How Logos Of Famous Painters Would Look

ADVERTISEMENT

Have you ever thought about how famous artists like Leonardo Da Vinci or Salvador Dali would create in the modern world? What if these famous painters had their own modern logo designs?

After working as a branding design for a long time, Brazilian artist Milton Omena challenged himself to expand his design boundaries and get out of his comfort zone and fulfill his idea of creating visual identities for famous painters. He carefully thought of painting styles, painters’ personalities, habits, and lifestyles and how each of them would have a unique logo, brand, or product.

“For example, I have never made freehand logos or proportion calculus. I have never used pastels or more than 3 colors. Using the inspiration from painters who already had their strong styles established was a way of exercising my versatility,” the digital artist told Bored Panda.

Leonardo da Vinci

As a reference, the designer used Leonardo Da Vinci’s sketches, notebooks, and classical artworks. Even though this artist is known
for his brilliant use of perspective and depth in backgrounds and amazingly expressive portraits, Milton figured
that his inventor side used in a cool logo would reflect more his personality.

hm. Mondraan is written with two 'a's and the chair is from Rietveld. I am not so convinced by most of the logo's. I try to teach my students to make something unique and superb for their clients. Which means also paying attention to typography, and create a wordmark rather than just throwing a typeface under a visual... Nice project though, but rather amusing, not really top notch. Am I too harsch?

I don't think you are too harsch. I do very agree with you. "Hm" sums it nicely up. But for the name of Modria(a)n you probably oversaw that he is known everywhere in the world (but in the Netherlands) as Mondrian. He himself changed his name in 1911 by dropping the second "a. Even on his gravestone in NCY it reads this way.
