1
This is Michael Beirut.
2
I'm Michael Beirut.
3
I'm a graphic designer.
4
You might be familiar with his work.
5
But interestingly, he thinks that logos are just kind of overrated.
6
I am actually often very ambivalent about them.
7
Let's back out a sec.
8
What is a logo?
9
Basically the face of a company.
10
Some are beloved, some the swastika is a logo and it's reviled, you know?
11
They have to work at tiny sizes and huge.
12
There are three specific types.
13
The first type is the wordmark.
14
The wordmark is the easiest one, and it's the one that we're all the most familiar with.
15
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.
16
It can look somehow that it has roots in a shared heritage, the way the Coca -Cola logo looks, you know.
17
The second is pictorial.
18
The pictorial logos often function as a kind of rebus, you know.
19
It's a picture and you say what's in the picture and it sort of is identifying the name of the company.
20
Sometimes directly like
21
Target, sometimes more indirectly like Lacoste.
22
The third kind is kind of the holy grail, abstract iconography.
23
It's everyone's favorite kind of category because it just seems almost like magic, you know.
24
As a designer, people come to me and they'll say, oh I want something like the Nike swoosh.
25
They think that the Nike swoosh was the Nike swoosh the day it was drawn, but it was nothing the day it was drawn.
26
The company that birthed
27
Nike commissioned a design student named Carolyn to draw some ideas.
28
And the Nike founders didn't really like them.
29
They sort of said, oh, let's use that one.
30
It wasn't like an overnight success.
31
And then they started putting on the science of shoes.
32
The shoes were good.
33
And then the genius of Nike's marketing apparatus made us further associate that product not not merely with performance athletic gear,
34
but with the very idea of athletic achievement itself.
35
And that's how, over a long time, a little mark means something big.
36
That's exactly how religious symbols work.
37
It's obviously not just anything inherent in these shapes,
38
but it's about what those shapes have come to represent in the minds of the people who are looking at them.
39
But there's a fourth type of logo that goes beyond these three types and can use elements of each of them.
40
The logo system, a graphical framework that can have endless permutations.
41
The first gigantically popular example of the logo system would be MTV.
42
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.
43
This approach all has to do with technological change.
44
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
45
and on their airplanes and their retail facilities and gold pins
46
and couplings would be made for the executive suite
47
and put on spittoons and ashtrays and the top of the skyscraper and we say dwell on everyone's business card, right?
48
Nowadays, none of that's as important as an email signature
49
or your Twitter avatar or the little thing that sits next to your URL.
50
Those things are much more ubiquitous and they can be changed at the drop of a hat.
51
Beirut used this system approach for his Hillary Clinton logo.
52
We wanted to have a mark reflect the electorate and reflect the issues.
53
Those simple forms that comprise the H with the arrow in it are actually designed to hold not just two colors,
54
say red and blue, but any colors you want.
55
The use of logo systems seems to be continually on the upswing now,
56
probably because it allows the brand using it to expand the conversation beyond its own name.
57
The logo kind of reminds people that that's what our priority is today.
58
But at the end of the day, regardless of the shape, style, or system, it might not matter what your logo is.
59
It really is about thinking of these symbols as being empty vessels in a way, and then you pour the meaning into them.
60
So what's this all add up to?
61
Basically, those fights people get in about new logos are pretty misguided.
62
They think they're judging a diving competition, but actually, all these organizations are in swimming competitions.
63
It's not what kind of splash you make
64
when you hit the water it's how long you keep your head above that water.
65
Logos need to have a long life, not win points in a discussion.
66
12 years after the birth of that
67
Nike logo, Nike came back to that graphic design student Carolyn with a gift.
68
A Nike ring with her own trademark on it, the swoosh.
69
Thank you very much, it's beautiful.
70
And an undisclosed amount of Nike stock.
71
Wow.
72
In 1973 when it was designed, her pay was $35.
73
Thank you.

Từ vựng và ghi chú luyện nói cho bài học này
Bài luyện nói này dựa trên video “What makes a truly great logo”. Những từ được nhắc lại nhiều nhất trong bài: logo, nike, type, swoosh, mark. Video này có 51 câu và 830 từ để luyện shadowing. Phần lời nói dài 4:32. Người nói nói nhanh, khoảng 183 từ mỗi phút, nên sẽ có nhiều chỗ nối âm và nuốt âm. Chỉ 80% số từ nằm trong 3.000 từ tiếng Anh thông dụng nhất, nên từ vựng khá khó.
Từ vựng quan trọng trong video
15 từ đáng học trong video, kèm phiên âm và nghĩa:
| Từ | Phiên âm | Nghĩa |
|---|---|---|
| logo danh từ | /ˈloʊ.ɡoʊ/ | biểu trưng, lô-gô |

| reflect động từ | /ɹɪˈflɛkt/ | phản chiếu |
| symbol danh từ | /ˈsɪmbəl/ | ký hiệu, biểu tượng |
| vessel danh từ | /ˈvɛsəl/ | thuyền lớn, tàu thuỷ |

| shoe danh từ | /ˈʃu/ | giày |
| graphic tính từ | /ˈɡɹæfɪk/ | đồ hoạ |

Phát âm cần chú ý
Người nói dùng 9 dạng rút gọn, ví dụ I'm, didn't, there'd. Hãy nói theo dạng ngắn đúng như bạn nghe.
- Âm “sh” và “zh”: shoe /ˈʃu/, associate /əˈsoʊʃi.ət/, splash /splæʃ/, swoosh /ˈswʊʃ/, ashtray /ˈæʃ.tɹeɪ/
- Từ dài — đặt trọng âm cho đúng: priority /pɹaɪˈɒɹɪti/, associate /əˈsoʊʃi.ət/, technological /ˌtɛk.nəˈlɑ.dʒɪ.kəl/, continually /kənˈtɪnjuəli/, apparatus /ˌæp.əˈɹeɪ.təs/
Những âm người Việt thường gặp khó:
- Cụm phụ âm cuối — đọc đủ từng âm, đừng nuốt âm cuối: reflect /ɹɪˈflɛkt/, element /ˈɛləmənt/, remind /ɹəˈmaɪnd/, achievement /əˈt͡ʃiːv.mənt/, expand /ɪkˈspænd/
- Âm /tʃ/, /dʒ/ và /ʒ/ — tiếng Việt không có, đừng đọc thành “ch” hay “gi”: signature /ˈsɪɡ.nə.t͡ʃə/, achievement /əˈt͡ʃiːv.mənt/, heritage /ˈhɛɹ.ɪ.tɪd͡ʒ/, genius /ˈd͡ʒin.jəs/, technological /ˌtɛk.nəˈlɑ.dʒɪ.kəl/
- Âm /æ/ — mở miệng rộng hơn âm “e”: graphic /ˈɡɹæfɪk/, athletic /æθˈlɛt.ɪk/, expand /ɪkˈspænd/, abstract /ˈæbˌstɹækt/, arrow /ˈæɹəʊ/
Cách luyện với video này
- Nghe hết video một lần, chưa cần nói, và ghi lại những từ bạn chưa biết.
- Bắt đầu ở tốc độ 0,75×, nói đuổi từng câu, rồi quay lại tốc độ bình thường khi đã quen.
- Ghi âm giọng mình rồi so với bản gốc, chú ý các từ như logo, designer, reflect.
Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
