New Hankblog Header: "Old is Gold"

For a new Hankblog header,we thought we’d try on something old: check out these classic Scandinavian logos designed in the 1960s-70s. These simple shapes, bold colors and dynamic concepts are fun, sophisticated and memorable. Check out this awesome Flickr Stream by Vancouver based designer Oliver Tomas.

We also suggest reading The Story Of Scandinavian Design: Combining Function and Aesthetics from Smashing Magazine by designer Katrín Eyþórsdóttir which gives you a quick contextual history of graphic design in the Nordic countries.

Here’s a breakdown of the new “Hankblog” header:
