We were approached by the creative team at MCM to redesign their iconic logo. The
new logotype redesign is based on Genzsh & Heyse’s 1888 Römische Antiqua, a
predecessor to the American DeVinne types. Römische is one of the archetypal
19th’s century German printing types. It exudes the seriousness of a Scotch Roman while concurrently balancing the quirks of the grotesques of the period. The
final logo was reworked into 4 versions, 2 optical sizes each with a lighter “grade”
to work on dark backgrounds.
