Designer Taku Omura Transforms Company Logos into Functional Household Items
From Twitter and PlayStation to adidas and Adobe.
Japanese designer, Taku Omura of OOD studios, recently unveiled one of his latest ventures, taking well-known company logos and twisting them in such a way that seemingly transforms them into functional household objects. “Trial and Error” is an experimental process in which Omura reimagines the shapes of each logo, reinterpreting these visual symbols in a manner that can be used in everyday life. Using a 3D-printer, the artist creates products — some miniature and others in proper sizing — that takes the form of easily-recognizable gadgets and appliances.
For instance, adidas’s Three Stripes logo becomes a pen holder, Louis Vuitton’s famed LV icon turns into a business card holder, the Twitter bird morphs into an orange peeler, Adobe’s sign resembles a mini clothes hanger, while the PlayStation emblem gets used as bookends.
