The Purple House (MY)’s Post

Apart from working on design and development of Sinhala fonts for some of the world's leading tech companies I've been working on standards relating to Sinhala text technologies and standardisation of encoding. Articulating the value of typography and fonts has been a challenge in markets like LK and SA due to reduced buying power. However with the AI revolution the lack of data and text encoded in Unicode will become a real problem in bringing native knowledge to digital space in a meaningful way. I see fonts and related work as primary work in critical digital infrastructure and have been developing frameworks to talk about these topics. After a decade of working in this field I think I should talk to more people and write about our work in these fields to a wider audience. Before I compile more content, I thought it's better to get out what I've done so far. Here is a panel discussion I curated and moderated at ATypI: Association Typographique Internationale Working Seminar Colombo 2019. If you'r interested in localisation, local languages and what the role of fonts in all this, I assure you it's full of insights. Don't mind the cheesy and overblown introductions :) https://lnkd.in/ggNc87Dx

#EUDA #CorporateVisualIdentity #Logo Today, we would like to present to you something truly special. We have prepared a video presentation of a brand-new corporate identity, that we created for EUDA- European Union Drugs Agency (former EMCDDA). This is the first time, that we have designed a corporate visual identity mainly for online communication. This special task came with new possibilities but also new challenges. We had to keep in mind accessibility standards and their specific requirements regarding colours, graphic elements, fonts and special rules for their use. The entire identity is ready for a dynamic interactive online communication. This is the direction that the agency is heading towards-customer centric digital ecosystem, which will bring more efficient interaction and higher level of sustainability, as printed materials will be used less and less in the future.

Working on logo ideas for Veni Codi Vici v2. Even though this one doesn't check the best practices boxes (too complex, too many colors, etc.), I really like it. What do you guys think? More about it: - You probably have seen the maps we will have in the background for our new version of chapters ( https://lnkd.in/g388GaDF ). It keeps the same style - Because the chapters have maps, I like the idea of a "book of maps" - You also probably noticed from the maps, I designed them to be cool, welcoming, fantastic versions of cities/countries. They also all have a river. The color of these rivers is the color of this background as well as the center of the logo #buildinpublic
