麥當(dāng)勞的金拱門形象已經(jīng)深入人心,一想到他,眼前的畫風(fēng)基本就是那個紅底黃M的霓虹燈招牌了,還有麥當(dāng)勞叔叔這種畫面感特別強的元素。

然而,現(xiàn)在麥當(dāng)勞卻開始嘗試極簡風(fēng)格的設(shè)計了,在最新和設(shè)計事務(wù)所合作的戶外招牌上,他們似乎是想搞“無印快餐”的概念。

你覺得這樣畫風(fēng)的麥當(dāng)勞是更好了還是更糟了呢?

McDonald’s?may be home of the Big Mac, but its branding just went minimalist.

是麥當(dāng)勞推出了巨無霸漢堡,然而,如今該品牌卻走向了極簡主義。

The ad agency Leo Burnett London worked with American designer David Schwen to create a new outdoor branding campaign for McDonald’s called “Iconic Stacks.”?

廣告公司李奧貝納倫敦分公司與美國設(shè)計師大衛(wèi)·施文合作為麥當(dāng)勞設(shè)計了一個新的戶外品牌推廣活動,該活動被稱為“Iconic Stacks”(標(biāo)志堆疊)。

Dollar menu aficionados will recognize McDonald’s classics like the Sausage McMuffin, Big Mac, and Filet-O-Fish by a list of ingredients in McDonald’s brand colors and what appears to be the typeface Helvetica on each sign. But there aren’t any other hints as to the brand behind the ad.

“一美元菜單”的狂熱愛好者們將通過麥當(dāng)勞品牌顏色的配料表和每個標(biāo)志上類似Helvetica(赫維提卡,一種字體名稱)的字體來辨別出麥當(dāng)勞的經(jīng)典菜品,如香腸松餅、巨無霸漢堡和麥香魚漢堡。但目前并沒有關(guān)于該品牌廣告背后故事的其他線索。

This is just the latest example of McDonald’s embracing a minimalist aesthetic. In 2016, the company unveiled new, spartan packaging to replace the busy bags and wrappers it used for years.?

這只是麥當(dāng)勞奉行極簡主義美學(xué)的最新例證。2016年麥當(dāng)勞推出了新款斯巴達(dá)式包裝,以替代多年來一直使用的繁復(fù)的袋子和包裝紙。

It’s also part of a larger trend of “no-brand” branding—pared-down visuals that rely on brand equity, the consumer’s established relationship with the company, and knowledge of its products as identifiers rather than overdesigned labels and slick slogans to get the message across.?

這也是“無品牌化”大趨勢的一部分,即減少用過度設(shè)計的標(biāo)簽和華而不實的標(biāo)語來傳遞信息,而是依靠品牌價值、消費者與公司建立起來的關(guān)系、以及消費者對其產(chǎn)品的認(rèn)知來使信息可視化。

Startups Brandless and M/F People both launched in 2017 with products that had so much white negative space, they were almost blank slates.

2017年初創(chuàng)公司Brandless(美國平價居家用品和食品電商)和M/F People(一個極簡生活方式品牌)都推出了有大量留白的產(chǎn)品,幾乎就是空白的狀態(tài)。

The stacking type conceit may be familiar to people who know Schwen’s work. In the design community, he’s well-known for making “type sandwiches” that describe what a sandwich is made of by stacking a list of their ingredients on top of each other.?

了解施文作品的人可能對這種堆疊式的設(shè)計很熟悉。在設(shè)計界,他以設(shè)計“三明治品種”而聞名,他的作品描繪了如何把材料一層一層堆疊在一起做成三明治。

多知道一點

Helvetica

Helvetica是蘋果電腦的默認(rèn)字體,與微軟常用的Arial字體相似。2007年是helvetica誕生50年,作為在平面設(shè)計和商業(yè)上非常普及和成功的一款字體,英國導(dǎo)演Gary Hustwit專門為她拍攝了一部紀(jì)錄片《Helvetica》。
