Definition of Abstract Photography

Abstract Photography is not hard to job but getting good abstract is not an easy job! As the word abstract is, the definition of abstract photography is also not having the exact definition. But for the definition, it is a photography which does not represent the subject in a literal way. And is communicated primarily through shape, form, colour, pattern, texture and curves rather than image detail.

Already defining abstract photography, now we will see some ways to get wonderful abstract photos by simple techniques.

In 1999, the TATA Group  logo was designed by Wolff Olins London based famous brand consultancy. They also worked on Tata DoCoMo later in 2009 for the group. The meaning of the logo is as follows,

Meaning of Logo : TATA Group

Tata Group logo monogram and the logotype together represent the new expanding face of Tata Group of Industries, a fountain of knowledge or may be a tree of utmost trust subsumed in the reversed out capital ‘T’ against a modern and energetic blue colour of the ellipse. From the service-quality point of view, the logo image has advanced further in the 21st century and The Tata marque has become a symbol of quality, reliability, and real value, not just in India but in other parts of the world too. (Source: D’source, IIT Bombay)

Older Version of TATA group Logo (Source: Wolff Olins)

As per the design agency, the symbol was particularly designed to look good on cars, an important growth market of TATA Group.

Godrej Logo – Signature of Mr. Godrej

Godrej Logo

Interesting fact about the Godrej logo is its typographic logo having signature of Mr. Ardeshir Godrej, Founder of Godrej. It is one of the unique logos in the world having signature as a logo. Godrej logo is in use since decades as a signature except some colour changes. The initial logo in blue colour was unbeaten for more than 100 years. The colour was changed to red later on.

Its year 2007, when Godrej appointed Inerbrand, UK based brand consultant for making this logo contemporary. In 2008, a three-colour pattern, maroon, green and blue, was used to fill the Godrej signature.

 

Recent Godrej Logo Designed by Interbrand

Meaning of Godrej Logo

The objective behind the colours was to create a funky image in order to connect with youth of India. However, looking from design point of view, the calligraphic identity of Godrej reminds one of the trustworthy locks and cupboards of Godrej (the first product range of Godrej that helped establish the brand. (Source: D’source, IIT Bombay)

Five Poems of Tagore and Photography

Stray Birds

Stray birds of summer come to my window
to sing and fly away.
And yellow leaves of autumn,
which have no songs,
flutter and fall there with a sigh.

—————–

National Anthem of India

Jana Gana Mana Adhinaayak Jaya Hey,
Bhaarat Bhaagya Vidhaataa
Panjaab Sindhu Gujarat Maraatha,
Draavid Utkal Banga
Vindhya Himaachal Yamuna Ganga,
Uchchhal Jaladhi Taranga
Tav Shubh Naamey Jaagey,
Tav Shubh Aashish Maange

Endless Time

Time is endless in thy hands, my lord.
There is none to count thy minutes.

Days and nights pass and ages bloom and fade like flowers.
Thou knowest how to wait.

Thy centuries follow each other perfecting a small wild flower.

We have no time to lose,
and having no time we must scramble for a chance.
We are too poor to be late.

And thus it is that time goes by
while I give it to every querulous man who claims it,
and thine altar is empty of all offerings to the last.

At the end of the day I hasten in fear lest thy gate be shut;
but I find that yet there is time.

Chain of Pearls

Mother, I shall weave a chain of pearls for thy neck
with my tears of sorrow.

The stars have wrought their anklets of light to deck thy feet,
but mine will hang upon thy breast.

Wealth and fame come from thee
and it is for thee to give or to withhold them.
But this my sorrow is absolutely mine own,
and when I bring it to thee as my offering
thou rewardest me with thy grace.

Baby’s World Photo Poetry

Baby’s World

I wish I could take a quiet corner in the heart of my baby’s very
own world.
I know it has stars that talk to him, and a sky that stoops
down to his face to amuse him with its silly clouds and rainbows.
Those who make believe to be dumb, and look as if they never
could move, come creeping to his window with their stories and with
trays crowded with bright toys.
I wish I could travel by the road that crosses baby’s mind,
and out beyond all bounds;
Where messengers run errands for no cause between the kingdoms
of kings of no history;
Where Reason makes kites of her laws and flies them, the Truth
sets Fact free from its fetters.

Classic Logos of India -16

Indian Airlines

Aircraft Airbus A320 With Indian Airlines Logo (Wikipedia)

Another feather in the cap of Benoy Sarkar for designing logo of Indian Airlines. National Institute of Design has contributed to many of classical logos of India.The logo was designed around 1946 and was being in use till 2000. Logo has the typographic beauty with a simple sliding crossbar of the letter ‘A’. Above the windows of aircraft, “Indian Airlines” was written in English on starboard side and in Hindi on port side. The tail was bright orange, with its logo in white. In most of the aircrafts, the logo was also painted on the engines over its bare metal colour.

For more details find Biography and work of Mr. Benoy Sarkar.

Indian Airlines Logo by Benoy Sarkar

After the name change to Indian, the company’s aircraft sported a new look inspired by the Sun Temple at Konark in Odisha. The tail of their aircraft had a partial blue wheel since practically 3/4 of the remainder is cut off. The wheel is over an orange background with the carrier’s name “Indian” written in English on one side of the fuselage, and in Hindi on the other. On 15 May 2007, the Government of India released the new merger livery, which was sent to Boeing in Seattle to repaint all the new fleet coming into the new Air India. (Source: Wikipedia)
