The award-winning graphic designer decodes why the simple shapes of a logo can have such great impact . nn“Design can be a lonely thing,” says Michael Bierut in the second part of this exclusive Design Indaba interview. “As you acquire that skill [in design] you are actually making yourself less normal than regular people.”nDesigners are sensitised to things other people don’t even notice, he says – the way the curves of a typeface echo each other, for example, or the subtle changes in a logo. nThough the work of the designer is social because it requires the user to make sense of it, there is an element of solitude to the design process. “Because you are always in your head,” says Beirut, “and you don’t know what effect it’s going to have until you do it.”nWe tend to fixate on the power of logos in today’s hyper-aware consumer culture, which Bierut is quick to disarm. “I don’t want to overemphasise logos in the world. I think that if you act with intelligence and integrity and consistency you’ll develop a brand. Whether you are a person or a non-profit, a small organisation or a giant corporation.”nWhat he does think of as particularly interesting about logos however, is the meaning that gets instilled in them over the course of their usage.n“What’s fun about logo design, what makes it so interesting, why it holds so much power for all of us is that there is something very primitive about it,” he says. “Many of them are such simple marks. They are not much further evolved than hieroglyphics, or marks on cave walls from millions of years ago.”nWhat happens with a logo, explains Bierut, takes place only partly in the symbol; the rest we do with our minds as we connect the symbol to all the associations we have with what it means.n“What’s interesting, particularly about that kind of telegraphic communication is that it it is inherently participatory.”nIt is this interactive and social quality of design work that lends the profession what Bierut can only describe as “a kind of magic”.nIn Part 1 of this interview Michael Bierut talks about the process of writing his new book, How to: Use graphic design to sell things, explain things, make things look better, and (every once in a while) change the world, in which he looks back on his life and career in a series of amusing and interesting How to’s.

‘Seelenrasur - Soulshave’ is Michel Montecrossa's New-Topical-Song about Ferguson’s Michael Brown and Offenbach’s Tugce Albayrak. Racism, injustice, aggression, violence, extremism are on the rise and take always more lives. With his bilingual New-Topical-Song ‘Seelenrasur - Soulshave’ Michel Montecrossa sends the call for a new spiritual humanism in German and English into the world: “Don’t become the hell of a world without the ‘We’.Rather have the Soulshave and like her be bright and free. Be the soul of love’s moment, show the greatness of the big ‘We’.“ In the strengthening of convincing ethical values Michel Montecrossa sees the way out of desperation for the young when he sings: “Feel the Evolver Culture, really know what’s drivin’ the wheel. Violence and racism won’t lead you to the ‘We’.nBe heroes of love whose hearts are poundin’ for all.“n‘Seelenrasur - Soulshave’ is Michel Montecrossa's strong and heartfelt New-Topical-Song for Christmas.nnMichel Montecrossa about ‘Seelenrasur - Soulshave’:n“I wrote the New-Topical-Song ‘Seelenrasur - Soulshave’ at the time when Ferguson and wide ranges of the USA exploded with anger about racism and the shooting of Michael Brown, and Germany mourned the brutal killing of the 23 years young student girl Tugce Albayrak. My song is dedicated to both of them and to the coming of a new spiritual humanism changing the human world into a better place.“nnnMore songs and videos: www.MichelMontecrossa.comnnSong LyricsnnSeelenrasur - Soulshaven(On the other side of Ferguson and Tugce - Auf der anderen Seite von Ferguson und Tugce)nnWerdet nicht zur Hölle einer Welt ohne das ‘Wir’.nMacht lieber die Seelenrasur und seid hell und frei.nSeid die Seele der Liebeszeit, zeigt die Größe des großen ‘Wir‘.nnDon’t become the hell of a world without the ‘We’.nRather have the Soulshave and like her be bright and free.nBe the soul of love’s moment, show the greatness of the big ‘We’.nnFühlt die Fortschrittsbewegung, erkennt was wirklich geschieht.nGewalt und Rassismus bringen euch nicht zum ‘Wir’.nSeid Helden der Liebe, deren Herz für alle schlägt.nnFeel the Evolver Culture, really know what’s drivin’ the wheel.nViolence and racism won’t lead you to the ‘We’.nBe heroes of love whose hearts are poundin’ for all.nnHerz und Seele in Aktion verändern unser Denken,nunsere Sehensweise und unsere Lebensart.nSeid Freunde und seid Liebende, seid Wege in eine bessere Welt.nnHeart and soul in action change our way of thinkin’, nchange our way of seeing and our way of livin’.nBe friends and be lovers, be ways into a better world.nnDann sind wir vereint in der Welt des freien Seinsnder Ganzheit unserer Menschlichkeit, des Guten, liebesweit,nbefreit von Extremismus und Lebensfeindlichkeit,nSeelengröße sind wir dann für eine neue Zeit.nnThen we are united in the world of freedom life,nthe wholeness of our humanity, of the good, the love so wide,nfreed from extremism that’s a-killin’ our life,ngreatness of soul are we then for a new time.nnWerdet nicht zur Hölle einer Welt ohne das ‘Wir’.nMacht lieber die Seelenrasur und seid hell und frei wie sie.nSeid auf der anderen Seite von Ferguson und Tugce und zeigt das große ‘Wir’.nnDon’t become the hell of a world without the ‘We’.nRather have the Soulshave and like her be bright and free.nBe on the other side of Ferguson and Tugce and show the big ‘We’.nnMusic & Lyrics: Michel Montecrossa © Mira Sound Germany Less
