Logorama – The Oscar Winning Animated Short – A Feast For The Eyes Of Logo Designers!

Congratulations to the team who created Logorama, for winning the best animated short film. Directed by Nicolas Schmerkin (Autor de Minuit). The film is clever and funny and takes place in a world entirely populated by logos.

I love this movie for many reasons, two of them being a) I’m a logo designer so the nerd in me gets very excited by seeing lots of well-known logos, and b) I love the animation and bright colours in this film.

The movie is hilarious but has serious undertones about how corporations are taking over the world – look out for Ronald McDonald holding a child hostage. Sheer brilliance.

The movie is just over 16 minutes long and is well worth your time. Here it is in two parts.

Congratulations also to the team from Brown Bag Films for the wonderful achievement of receiving a nomination for the brilliant Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty. This is their second Oscar nomination having previously received one for “Give Up Your Oul Sins”.
