Colour of the Year

I have never used many colours, apart from the basic typo­graphic black and red. Twenty years ago, how­ever, Alex Branczyk and myself designed the logo etc for FontShop. We thought light and dark would nicely rep­re­sent the dig­i­tal process of one and zero, as well as the process inside the laser printer. Black and white was too plain, so it became black and yel­low. That colour scheme has become syn­ony­mous with FontShop and its prod­ucts, like the Font­Font library.

Nice to be finally rec­og­nized 20 years later by Pan­tone itself.

It is amaz­ing, last week I was google­ing for “color pre­dic­tions”, then got to the Pan­tone web­site and saw it. Long life to the Yellow!
