Opinion
There is not a lot to go on on this redesign but I received plenty of tips about it and it’s a fairly large corporation so let’s get to it with what we have. First, the name… we will have to assume that people internally and perhaps their B2B peers refer to National Instruments as N.I. and since I don’t socialize with anyone in the automated test equipment industry I really have no clue but, at the gut level, calling this company “NI” — whether that’s spelled out as En Aye or a single word as Nee — it doesn’t sound very convincing. “National Instruments” had gravitas and presence. “NI” has neither and the new logo doesn’t quite help give it the oomph it needs. I like the new logo — although I don’t get the notch on the top-left corner of the “n” — as a graphic statement but it feels unfinished or like something is missing to it, which doesn’t help that the name itself feels like a lot is missing. The old logo wasn’t great by any means but it at least implied American-National-ness with its (kinda hilarious) eagle-N and the bold wordmark was as blunt as it gets. Not all is bad, as there seems to be a solid visual language building around the logo, with patterns made up of the square-with-one-rounder-corner element and a nice range of greens. Going through their Twitter account, there are a couple of videos that have some nice motion graphics on them so perhaps when and if the design firm responsible puts up a case study there might some more to stuff to better analyze this. One highlight though is the new tagline, “Engineer Ambitiously”, which sounds strong and empowering. Overall, for now, “Ni!”.

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.
