14 April 2011 – Logo Marathon As part of his teaching at the University of applied Science in Düsseldorf Holger organised a Logo Marathon. A marathon goes over 42 kilometer for which the average athlete needs 4 hours. Based on this parameters students design 42 logos in 4 hours. One every six minutes. The subjects are generated at random by a specially designed website. The idea behind the project is to try a more spontaneous and intuitive approach to logo design. Follow the events here. 01 April 2011 — Pretty Ugly  Holger will give a short talk next thursday at the Pretty — Ugly event organised by the MA St. Martins student to raise money for their upcoming degree show.
