Design History

Design History: The Trademark in Nazi Germany and the Modern Logo from Mark Gould on Vimeo.

 

Design History: The Trademark in Nazi Germany and the Modern Logo is a video by Mark Gould from the School of Visual Arts MFA Design, added by VJ PsyScottic. Although there’s unfortunately the clear trigger about Nazis here to distract, this talks about logo design in a way that anyone interested in sigils and seals might find familiar.

 

“Steven Heller surveys the Modern German trademark as designed by its Modern German Master, William Defke. An interesting look at how the use of trademarks, logos and eventually all forms of media were, and continue to be used by governments and big corporate media as elements of codes, and symbols to transmit messages to the masses.”

 

The Hermetic Library video pool is a scavenger hunt for video from a living Western Esoteric Tradition. If you would like to submit your work for consideration, head over to the Hermetic Library video pool or contact the librarian.

  • “… the Law of Thelema … admits that each member of the human race is unique, sovereign and responsible only to himself. In this way it is the logical climax of the idea of democracy. Yet at the same time it is the climax of aristocracy by asserting each individual equally to be the centre of the universe.”

I run ads on this site to help pay the bills and keep the lights on, including Google, Amazon, and, a scrappy indie network, ComicAd. If you use an ad blocker, consider becoming an ongoing supporter on Patreon, Bandcamp, or Ko-Fi to chip in and continue guilt free.

Some images on this site are created using AI/ML generators (MidJourney and Dall-E) when posts otherwise wouldn't have pictures or they seem fun to me to add.
