This is Michael Beirut.

I'm Michael Beirut.

I'm a graphic designer.

You might be familiar with his work.

But interestingly, he thinks that logos are just kind of overrated.

I am actually often very ambivalent about them.

Let's back out a sec.

What is a logo?

Basically the face of a company.

Some are beloved, some the swastika is a logo and it's reviled, you know?

They have to work at tiny sizes and huge.

There are three specific types.

The first type is the wordmark.

The wordmark is the easiest one, and it's the one that we're all the most familiar with.

I mean, John Hancock's signature is kind of a wordmark, and it can look crisp, clean, and modern, like the new Google logo looks.

It can look somehow that it has roots in a shared heritage, the way the Coca -Cola logo looks, you know.

The second is pictorial.

The pictorial logos often function as a kind of rebus, you know.

It's a picture and you say what's in the picture and it sort of is identifying the name of the company.

Sometimes directly like

Target, sometimes more indirectly like Lacoste.

The third kind is kind of the holy grail, abstract iconography.

It's everyone's favorite kind of category because it just seems almost like magic, you know.

As a designer, people come to me and they'll say, oh I want something like the Nike swoosh.

They think that the Nike swoosh was the Nike swoosh the day it was drawn, but it was nothing the day it was drawn.

The company that birthed

Nike commissioned a design student named Carolyn to draw some ideas.

And the Nike founders didn't really like them.

They sort of said, oh, let's use that one.

It wasn't like an overnight success.

And then they started putting on the science of shoes.

The shoes were good.

And then the genius of Nike's marketing apparatus made us further associate that product not not merely with performance athletic gear,

but with the very idea of athletic achievement itself.

And that's how, over a long time, a little mark means something big.

That's exactly how religious symbols work.

It's obviously not just anything inherent in these shapes,

but it's about what those shapes have come to represent in the minds of the people who are looking at them.

But there's a fourth type of logo that goes beyond these three types and can use elements of each of them.

The logo system, a graphical framework that can have endless permutations.

The first gigantically popular example of the logo system would be MTV.

But Google's Daily Doodles are another great example of the logo system, a familiar mark that can also point to other ideas and issues.

This approach all has to do with technological change.

It used to be if a company was doing a logo, there'd be this military operation by which it would be inscribed on all their equipment

and on their airplanes and their retail facilities and gold pins

and couplings would be made for the executive suite

and put on spittoons and ashtrays and the top of the skyscraper and we say dwell on everyone's business card, right?

Nowadays, none of that's as important as an email signature

or your Twitter avatar or the little thing that sits next to your URL.

Those things are much more ubiquitous and they can be changed at the drop of a hat.

Beirut used this system approach for his Hillary Clinton logo.

We wanted to have a mark reflect the electorate and reflect the issues.

Those simple forms that comprise the H with the arrow in it are actually designed to hold not just two colors,

say red and blue, but any colors you want.

The use of logo systems seems to be continually on the upswing now,

probably because it allows the brand using it to expand the conversation beyond its own name.

The logo kind of reminds people that that's what our priority is today.

But at the end of the day, regardless of the shape, style, or system, it might not matter what your logo is.

It really is about thinking of these symbols as being empty vessels in a way, and then you pour the meaning into them.

So what's this all add up to?

Basically, those fights people get in about new logos are pretty misguided.

They think they're judging a diving competition, but actually, all these organizations are in swimming competitions.

It's not what kind of splash you make

when you hit the water it's how long you keep your head above that water.

Logos need to have a long life, not win points in a discussion.

12 years after the birth of that

Nike logo, Nike came back to that graphic design student Carolyn with a gift.

A Nike ring with her own trademark on it, the swoosh.

Thank you very much, it's beautiful.

And an undisclosed amount of Nike stock.

Wow.

In 1973 when it was designed, her pay was $35.

Thank you.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
