New Logo and Identity for Belgian Pro League by Mirror Mirror

(Est. 1895) "The Belgian First Division A, or Belgian Pro League (officially Jupiler Pro League due to sponsorship reasons with AB InBev's brewer Jupiler) since the 2015-16 season, is the top league competition for association football clubs in Belgium. Contested by 16 clubs, it operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the Belgian First Division B. Seasons run from late July to early May, with teams playing 30 matches each in the regular season, and then entering play-offs I or play-offs II according to their position in the regular season. Play-offs I (also known as the title playoffs) are contested by the top-six clubs in the regular season, with each club playing each other twice. Play-offs II (also known as the Europa League playoff) are contested by teams ranked 7 to 16 in the regular season, divided in four groups of four teams playing each other twice (six teams from the Belgian First Division B also take part in playoff II). The team finishing in 16th place is relegated. The competition was created in 1895 by the Royal Belgian Football Association." (Wikipedia)

Relevant quote
In collaboration with the branding agency Mirror Mirror, the Pro League started from a blank page in order to focus on the essentials. The result is a brand that focuses on the main activity of the Pro League: 1 ball, 2 teams.

The branding agency Mirror Mirror is proud of the result: “Our objective was to translate the specificity and identity of the Pro League into a global visual identity. An identity that perfectly translates what the organization represents: passion, emotion, union and local character. We have created a strong contemporary brand that develops into a dynamic visual system. We have come up with a toolkit that helps the Pro League build a lasting bond between clubs, players and supporters.”

The visual identity is complemented by a new slogan: Closer to football . "This slogan reflects what we, the Pro League, want to defend," said spokesman Stijn Van Bever. “The passion and love for our teams, the atmosphere in the stands, the intensity on the ground, the camaraderie in the stands, his chair or at the cafe. We bring supporters of clubs and clubs closer to supporters, also thanks to the collaboration with our new media partner Eleven Sports. The Pro League must become a strong brand, synonymous with football and passion”.

Opinion
The old logo put the swoosh in swoosh with an epic, unapologetic swoosh the size of not Belgium but at least 3 or 5 Belgiums cobbled together. Add to that gradients and you had yourself a real clunker. The new logo is dramatically minimal with two arrow-like shapes holding a ball in the negative space. The video explains it as being derived from the lines at centerfield and conceptualized as “one ball, two teams”, which, sure, I can get behind. I don’t think the icon is particularly football-y but in the context of the application it can absorb that meaning. The wordmark is fine. The applications, particularly in motion, look promising, with a lot of energy and interesting range of uses of the two corner bits of the icon. The use of gradients in motion looks good. Overall, this builds on the growing trend of football/soccer-related identities going more contemporary and minimal and while it looks good on the surface, I wonder if this one goes a little too far on that spectrum.

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.
