Blue Logo diagram/classification by OMA

contemax

lately I saw a diagram done by OMA or AMO about logos, they did a classification of blue colored logos. does anyone know where can I find this diagram online, the only thing I remember is that it was shown on several design blog... talking about a new book for graphics, or logodesign... not a lot of info I guess but since I'm googling now for hours and can't find any trace I'm desperately asking for some help of you guys

moral of the story - make your logo lurid magenta, or sickly yellow-green, if you want to stand out.

great survey!

the closer to blue ones are all filing bankruptcy...AIG, GM,citigroup, Merrylynch...

while the red logos are all in great shape... shell, waltdisney...

thats actually an interesting "aspect" of that graph now.... this is quite old (the graph) maybe from before the whole European union/flag analysis.... it was also published in CONTENT and before that in the WIRED magazine guest-edited by Koolhaas.... yes its an old graph but interesting to see which tones of blue are now bankrupt

MADianito ...hmm are you sure? can't find anything in AMO's CONTENT anyway.. this diagram is done by 2x4 - I know these guys are doing most of the graphics for rem but there is also a quite similar diagram - same topic - done by AMO/OMA out there... in a pretty new pubblication...
