Create exciting and innovative applications of the Ministry of Sound logo.

The challenge is to demonstrate how the existing logo can be applied to different environments and media spaces. The brief is not to redesign the logo itself.
This blog is a record of my progress trhough the YCN brief set by The Ministry of Sound. I'll post updates on research, ideas and production progress.

Vincent Connare

Quoted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_Connare:

Vincent Connare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vincent Connare is a former Microsoft in-house font designer. Amongst his creations are the Comic Sans font, and the Trebuchet MS font, both of which ship as standard on current releases of Microsoft Windows. Besides text typefaces he finalized and hinted the font Marlett which has been used for scalable User Interface icons in Microsoft Windows since 1995 and created portions of the font Webdings that was first shipped with Internet Explorer.

He currently works in the UK for Dalton Maag, an independent font design studio.

I'm surprized to find that Vincent Connare worked for microsoft, in particular that he designed Comic Sans. (Mainly because It's horrible!)

The next step is to look where he worked, Dalton Maag
