Weekly Image

This is an image of the EA sports gaming logo. This, much like my last weekly image, can be related to class because it also is a logogram like the ones created during the rise of civilization. However I am using this image to show how it relates to the renaissance, more importantly how the renaissance helped push the development of new typeface. I was intrigued by the lettering of the E and the A for this logo. The type is highly stylized and is unique in the way that the strokes were created, and this uniqueness reminded me of Geoffroy Tory and his fantasy type. It was the renaissance era that brought forth this new sense of creativity and artistic license. If it was not for the inventiveness of the renaissance than there would never be this endless amount of fonts that are seen in the modern day design world.
