Series of paintings by Dorothy features logos of popular companies stripped down to their basic graphic forms.
“You Took My Name” art project aims to prove that famous logos without typography are artworks in their own right. Can you identify all the logos?

Don’t know if anyone noticed it but. If you can’t guess the brand, it shows it’s name when you rest your cursor on the picture.

I kind of want Coca Cola to embrace that logo now, looks great and contemporary! Yes yes, the inventor spent 6 months designing it but still….
Anyways, why is Chupa Chups being mentioned with iconic brands I think is the more important question?

Both kodak and master card look a little bit antiquated. They need more than simplification to get in the 21st century. Coca cola in the other hand looks tremendously avant garde.
Yeah, I don’t get the chupa chups either. Even if that’s a Dali design, I couldn’t identify it until I read the comments.

These are simply logos, words removed. I don’t see the intricacy behind removing a word. Yes, they’re beautiful, but difficult to conceive, hardly. Try something a little harder that involves more creativity/manipulation! Those are the companies that could benefit most.

This is just like when Nike use the swoosh alone.
Which is super nice.
