"Typografische Monatsblätter" is a Swiss
business magazine, dealing with questions of
printing and typography. Its frequency was
monthly formerly (hence the name!) and it is
still in print up to date – now on a bimonthly
basis.

"Typografische Monatsblätter" were founded
1933. Since 1952 they are published together
with "Schweizer Grafische Mitteilungen" and
"Revue Suisse de l’Imprimerie". TM discusses
questions of the developping printing technology,
also – and for designers all over the world even
more interesting: Swiss designers and especially
Swiss type designers were regularly writing in
the magazine.

The famous type-criticisms of Max Caflisch
were released here, Jan Tschichold or Adrian
Frutiger were repeatedly writing for TM. Best
known Swiss designers were contributing for
decades: Wolfgang Weingart, Jost Hochuli,
Helmut Schmidt, Hans Rudolf Lutz, Emil
Ruder – just to name a few.

hi k, it is strange how crazy, how personal, people can get over something so meaningless as the Crap logo.

you'd think the conflict was religious or something,

cheers and thanks Kirill

Everything went better than expected :)

"Last week, we moved to address the feedback and began exploring how we could tap into all of the passion. Ultimately, we’ve learned just how much energy there is around our brand. All roads were leading us back to the blue box, so we’ve made the decision not to use the new logo on gap.com any further."
