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

TPG found an architect to develop <strong>the</strong> perfect ‘box’ to go<br />

with <strong>the</strong> solution <strong>and</strong> a new form <strong>of</strong> architecture-integrated<br />

signalization was born.<br />

When <strong>the</strong> matrix for <strong>the</strong> dots was developed interesting<br />

things happened: it became clear that a matrix typeface<br />

‘behaves’ differently from type-elements in a logo-type,<br />

in o<strong>the</strong>r words a logo-type is more image than text; fur<strong>the</strong>rmore<br />

a logotype could be reduced to a minimum<br />

amount <strong>of</strong> dots or <strong>the</strong> logo could be deformed severely<br />

before it lost its cognitive value. What you see, is what<br />

you remember.
