For 50 years IKEA have maintained a strong brand with the use of Futura in their catalog designs, but now their font of choice has switched to Verdana. The main reasons for the switch over are said to be: so the same typeface can be used easily internationally, as well as keeping their online and print ads consistent.
Presented by Design Victoria, the Melbourne Spring Fashion Week – Breakfast Series presents: “An exceptional line up of speakers will share their experience and knowledge on what it takes to create and maintain customer relationships throughout the retail lifecycle”. Speakers include: Scott Kilmartin – haul, Chloe Quigley – Michi Girl, Sahil Merchant – Mag Nation, Heidi Dyt – WGSN, Roy Tavenor – RED Design Group, Ana Maria Escobar and Sylvia Rasoni – Oroton Group, Joe Rogers – Elmwood Design.
