AKXXVIII
Logo design

When Louise de Gier (founder AKXXVIII) approached me to design a logo for the fashion line which she intended to create, not all that much had been decided on, except that the company name consisted of her mother’s initials and the year in which she was born. I converted the year, 1928, into Roman numerals, because this gave rise to a more exciting image. I used the font, Gill Sans, since it had been introduced during that year too.

Later on she approached me to also design a silk series of scarfs for her brand.
