“Welcome to Sabre Country”

New Logos for Virginia Athletics by Nike GIG

(Est. 1888) "The Virginia Cavaliers, also known as Wahoos or Hoos, are the athletic teams representing the University of Virginia, located in Charlottesville. The Cavaliers compete at the NCAA Division I level (FBS for football), in the Atlantic Coast Conference since 1953. Known simply as Virginia in sports media, UVA has twice won the Capital One Cup for men's sports (in 2015 and 2019) after leading the nation in overall athletic excellence. The Cavaliers have regularly placed among the Top 5 nationally." (Wikipedia)

Relevant quote
In its newest evolution, the [V-Sabre] mark incorporates bolder lines and beveled edges, giving it weight, power and a dynamic presence.

The secondary [Cavalier Shield] mark is UVA's modern take on a coat of arms. Traced from original blueprints, the top of the shield echoes the silhouetted roof of the Rotunda. Below, the hat and sabre embody the fighting spirit of Virginia Athletics.

The face of Virginia Athletics for decades, the Cavalier personifies the excitement and spirit of our program. In the fierce new [Virginia Cavalier] mark, the Cavalier takes a fighting stance. Hat tipped, the figure is an inclusive symbol, representing all members of the University community – regardless of gender, ethnicity, age or background.

Our new typography uses a clean and modern design, utilizing straight lines and circles found in the original design documents of the Rotunda, to unite all 27 varsity teams across Athletics. The design of the numbers includes an allusion to the sharp edge of a sabre.

Opinion
The primary mark evolution is good for the most part, adding some welcome dimensionality to the mark, although I’m not sure why the contrast between the two blues is so subtle as to pass almost unnoticed, which is a shame because it would make the sabres look cooler. For some reason I love the squiggly new handles — I know it’s a detail that will get a little lost but it’s a nice touch and based on the embroidery details shown, it holds up surprisingly well. The secondary marks get a little cartoony with the feathered-hat motif but I can totally see UVA folks loving it and, to their credit, both are well done — within the realm of sports identity. I like the detail on the top of the shield that follows the contour of the front of the iconic university building. The cavalier person mark… I’m not into it at all but, again, I think it will have a strong place in the hearts of students and alumni. The type marks are alright but their commitment to hard geometry yields some rather stiff-looking words. I was going to commend them for no spikes but then the numerals bring some inner spikes because swords and I want to not like it but I’m amused. Overall, pretty much par for the course when it comes to Nike-designed college athletics identities… it’s all fine and mostly well done but hard to get too excited by it if you are not affiliated with the school academically or emotionally, which is more of an us problem.

The 18 Best Things to See and Do in Oslo

Image
Posted : 6/26/2020 | June 26th, 2020 Balancing natural beauty, historic architecture, and a modern flair, Oslo , Norway’s beautiful capital, is a city that punches well above its weight. It’s small but bursting with things to do: there are countless museums, spacious parks, and delicious restaurants to keep you busy. It’s close to numerous forests with hiking and biking trails, and there are lots of places to swim in the summer too. However, since it’s expensive, a lot of travelers pass Oslo by. While a visit will certainly eat into your budget, Oslo is definitely worth a couple of days. To help show precisely why you should add it to your itinerary, here are my favorite things to see and do in Oslo:   1. Take a Free Walking Tour I always start my trips off with a free walking tour. They’re a budget-friendly way to see the main sights, learn a little history, meet other travelers, and get access to an expert local guide who can answer all my questions. Free Tour Oslo organ...

Practical Action rebrands to show “how small actions can change the big picture”

Image
NB Studio has created a new identity for Practical Action, a UK development organisation. Practical Action was established in 1966 with the aim of creating appropriate technologies for developing regions of the world. It works primarily in Eastern and Southern Africa, South Asia and Latin America. It was founded by economist and philosopher Fritz Schumacher whose book, Small is Beautiful, champions the concept that small changes can empower people more than big ones. Practical Action’s aim is to provide sustainable technologies – systems that countries can accommodate with their existing resources – instead of providing large-scale aid that cannot be easily sustained. The charity was originally called Intermediate Technology Development Group but was changed to Practical Action in 2005. “Ingenuity People” Nick Finney, founder and creative director at NB Studio, says that the brand update aims to clarify the charity’s function. One of the problems with its previous names, Finne...

The legacy of Life magazine’s images celebrated in new show

Image
When Life magazine was re-launched by magazine magnate Henry Luce in 1936, the idea was to put photojournalism at the forefront and publish only photography-led stories. Readers soon became accustomed to seeing images from around the world that gave them the kind of first-hand insight they’d never previously had. At one point it was selling 13.8 million copies a week, and in its lifetime the magazine commissioned more than 120,000 stories and 10 million photographs. Life was published up until 2000, and to celebrate the contributions the magazine made to documentary photography and photojournalism, Atlas Gallery in London is exhibiting a selection of some of the magazine’s most iconic and influential photographs. VJ Day, Times Square, NY by Alfred Eisenstaedt (August 14, 1945) © LIFE Gallery of Photography.
