Christian Baun:
“I believe in the power of a trademark. The trademark must be able to stand alone, but also as part of the entire logo”.
“For me it is not necessary for clients to invest in a design manual. For me the logo is the cornerstone, and its possible to design other design elements later in the process”.
”When I design a logo I spent most of the time on the idea phase – a logo need a relevant and original idea that reflects the company's/brands values. And of course it should be designed very well”.
”A strong logo design attracts attention, sympathy, credibility and recognition”.
