Application of the TRC brand in spray stencil.

The logo is a letterform designed inspired by the different variations of the DIN 1451 font, internationally known and for a long time used in license plates, house numbers, and urban wayfinding signs. The highlight element is the cut in the letter openings, which is used as a construction base for the support line.

Influences

1.Building Blocks, Kumi Yamashita, Wall Art (2014).

2. Excerpt from Paula Scher's typographic maps painting, published in the homonymous book, subtitled MAPS, 2011.

To build a city

The concept smart: It's the best, now; It's the irreverent "cousin" of wise; It's related to the intellectual and cognitive capacity to read and solve the situation while in it. It's intelligent and creative while in the present moment. It's about thinking and living the city in a creative and constantly changing format, open to creation and curiosity.

LIKE MAGIC

Both the line and the geometric shapes are graphic elements that accompany the logo. They reinforce the urban imagination and stimulate different possibilities of modular organization, referring to collective use and ownership.
