Types of Cities

Growing up, I had an obssession for EF International Language Centers. The brochures, the cheesy smiles, the blue backpacks with the white logo, it all look so exciting!
And after seeing these new series of typographic logotypes by Swedish graphic designer Albin Holmqvist, I can officially  say that my obsession is back. EF  recently commissioned Holmqvist to create a set of 40 cities typographic logotypes for each of the cities where they operate. We approve.
