Conception: The <strong>pleasure</strong> <strong>of</strong> complexity<br />

A problem with <strong>the</strong> mega-store concept was that <strong>the</strong>y<br />

forced various br<strong>and</strong>s ‘toge<strong>the</strong>r’ in one place <strong>and</strong> on one<br />

facade. And – fur<strong>the</strong>rmore – <strong>the</strong> partnership between<br />

br<strong>and</strong>s seemed to be prone to constant change.<br />

I developed a concept that was deceivably simple. The<br />

logo’s had to be represented in equal ‘weight’. Retroreflective<br />

prismatic foil applied in dots would represent<br />

<strong>the</strong> different br<strong>and</strong>s, it was cheap, easy to apply <strong>and</strong> easy<br />

to remove.
