The 'You Took My Name' collection by Dorothy group features iconic logos sans their iconic names.
The interesting series features iconic graphic logos from massive companies such as Coca-Cola, Mastercard, Kodak, Levi's and Heineken. The series takes away the written components of the logo, making the viewer contemplate where have they seen this design before. The 'You Took My Name' collection is simply painted on canvas. The artists behind this Dorothy collection say that their idea is centered around "Creating pieces that we think are artworks in their own right." The artists truly test the amount of brand recognition consumers may or may not have without the written word.
Now if anyone would like to tell me what the yellow flower may be from, I'd greatly appreciate it.
