RTL CREATION revises Station-CI
To start the new RTL-Season, RTL CREATION presents the station with a revised CI. The relaunch is reduced to the essentials: This autumn, the handwritten 'Mein' has been omitted and is only spoken off-camera. The navigation of the programme content takes center stage. The daily branding is emphasised more and the new trailer packaging gives more space to the picture. The logo itself was only slightly revised.
The RTL look with its three colours remains the same. "We are very
close to the brand solely because of our thoroughly composed colour
red-yellow-blue and it will stay that way," says Ulli Schumacher,
Creative Director Design at RTL CREATION. In addition, there is a new
RTL stripe in the station colors that subtly finds itself in all major
design elements.
With the RTL relaunch, the individual formats can gain a higher
audience perception. "RTL lives of its distinctive content and strong
viewer loyalty, which we want to continue to give space and setting,"
said Ulli Schumacher.
BDA Creative produces new Channel Branding
for Classica
After BDA Creative Munich recently developed and produced the graphic
concept design for the new Disney Channel that already launched in the
U.S. and Germany, the creative agency has landed another international
order: BDA Creative has given the channel Classica a completely new
branding .
Classica airs internationally on 37 platforms in 27 countries. In
Germany the station is broadcast in the evening on Sky or around the
clock at Unity Media. "Classica is a passion for classical music in
audiovisual form. Because of our quality programme, we are obliged to
have the most appealing and best offer for the lovers of classical
music worldwide", says Johannes Everding, Managing Director of Classica.
Philipp Wundt, Managing Director of BDA Creative Munich, on the new
design: "From the logo design to the branding to the identity
production Classica provided us with a unique challenge: We wanted to
dust off the theme of 'Classic', but incorporate the dynamics and
live-music character into the design.

Exhibition tip: ‘Posters. Andy Warhol‘
Until September 7, 2014 the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg is showing the exhibition 'Posters. Any Warhol'.
Andy Warhol – painter and illustrator, photographer and
film-maker; he published magazines and books; he ran the Factory, gave
musicians and models a helping hand up on their way to fame –
there is not much in the cultural activity of New York in the 1960s to
80s which he didn’t observe with a shrewd eye and often helps to
shape.
It is a less well-known fact that Warhol began his career in the 1940s
as a graphic designer. He achieved great success with illustrations for
prospectuses. In the early 1960s, he gave up drawing superficially
pleasing illustrations and created large-scale paintings depicting
details from the world of advertising and the tabloid press. In his own
unmistakable way, he overprinted and overpainted black-and-white photos
with coloured planes, traced the outlines with elegant penstrokes and
above all, repeated the same motifs again and again. The international
breakthrough for Warhol came in 1964/65. During that period he began to
print his first posters. Like the paintings and his limited-edition
graphic prints, they show stars from Elizabeth Taylor to Mick Jagger,
or the banalities of the world of consumerism, whether soup cans or
cows.
Alongside some 30 posters designed especially by Warhol, the exhibition
also displays the prints after paintings and graphics with which
Warhol’s series of works were presented in the galleries. The
question as to what constitutes the original, the design and the
reproduction is the thread constantly running through these works, and
it can only be answered from case to case. The 100 or so posters on
show in this exhibition are supplemented by artists books, selected
record covers and magazines such as the legendary
“Interview”.
‘Posters. Andy Warhol‘ until September 7, 2014 the Museum
für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg, Steintorplatz, 20099 D-Hamburg.
Opening hours: Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday through Saturdays from 10
a.m. to 6 p.m., Thursday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., closed on Monday.
