Corporate Identity Designers 
The most amazing Corporate Identity Designer 






The Alfapay Designe is my best  CorporateIdentity Designer because it has a strong colors red and black and they used simple logo that shows that interduce their company. The envolop and the busniess card looks amazing. that is because they used different shapes with differet colors. Acutely, The Corporate Identity Designer of this company looks all relater to each anther because the used the same colors and font.


Artselector  Identity Designer is a good design because it looks more simple and creative that links the logo with the Art company. Indeed, i love the logo because it deals with important element which is color and by seeing the logo and the name of the brand people can figure that this logo is related with art sections.


This letterhead provides an important addition to a brand’s image, with a simple and careful placement of it’s logo and corporate design.Furthermore, it  use materials to reflect whenever shown corporate ideas and to be eye catching, It required designer to make efforts to match these all material to be both different and the same.


 The Worst Corporate Identity Designer


I disalike this Corporate Identity Designer because i hate the colors and the logo  it does not deal with financial company. I really prefer if they do not used dark blue and gold background becasuse it  looks massy and it is not professional  that shows miserable. 


I really hate this Corporate Identity Designer because it has a powerful colors that is not rest for people ice. Moreover, it is dislike the logo and where they placed it because it looks that it is jumping around the pages.

Paul Jackson Pollock


Paul Jackson Pollock (January 28, 1912 – August 11, 1956), known as Jackson Pollock, was an influential American painter and a major figure in the abstract expressionist movement. He was well known for his uniquely defined style of drip painting.In 1945, he married the artist Lee Krasner, who became an important influence on his career and on his legacy.Pollock died at the age of 44 in an alcohol-related car accident.


His famous oil painting was Male and Female that was painted in 1942.  Jackson Pollock said regarding his art "When I am in a painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing. It is only after a sort of 'get acquainted' period that I see what I have been about. I have no fears about making changes, destroying the image, etc, because the painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through. It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess.






The Moon Woman suggests the example of Picasso, particularly his Girl Before a Mirror of 1932. The palettes are similar, and both artists describe a solitary standing female as if she had been x-rayed, her backbone a broad black line from which her curving contours originate. Frontal and profile views of the face are combined to contrast two aspects of the self, one serene and public, the other dark and interior.

Jazz musics

Music in the 1940s was mainly built around the Jazz and big band styles that were popular during the day. Artists likeRosemary Clooney, Count Basie, and Artie Shaw helped to define the musical era with their unique brand of entertaining crowds through their music. This was also the era of World War II, and many musical acts strived to reflect the pain that the country was going through while still remaining upbeat and positive about the impending future. The 1940's was a time for many breakthrough artists who made their mark in the history of music and several of them are still recognized as innovators in their day. 

One of the innovators of the 1940s musical style was Dizzy Gillespie. Known for his trademark puffy cheeks formed from being a prominent jazz trumpeter, Dizzy Gillespie was one of the prominent band leaders of the day. He also helped to create the bebop style of music, which consisted of a fast-tempo style of jazz combined with scat singing. Scat singing was a phenomenon that came to prominence during this era and it consisted of several nonsense but rhythmical syllables strung together to fit with the music. Dizzy Gillespie also helped to create the Afro-Cuban music trend that enjoyed popularity during the following years. This style combined musical aspects from both Latin and African influences. Dizzy Gillespie was also known for having a bent trumpet because it produced a unique sound that was characteristic of his particular sound. 


Cab Calloway was another popular scat jazz singer that came to prominence in the 1940s. In fact, he was so prominent in this field of music that he was often referred to as the “Hi De Ho” guy. One legend of how scat began tells of how Calloway forgot the words to a song during a performance and started improvising nonsense syllables to fit with the beat of the music. It was well-received by his audience and a new musical styles was born. His baritone voice was an excellent match for his style of jazz music, but he was also a very successful big band leader. His orchestra included some of the most prominent musicians of the era, including the aforementioned Dizzy Gillespie. Calloway is also synonymous with the Betty Boop cartoon because his popular song “Minnie the Moocher” was used as the score for one of the episodes. 



Bing Crosby helped to define the music of the 1940s as well as much of the music today. Most famous for his rendition of “White Christmas,” Crosby was a great musical talent during his day and musicians continued to be influenced for several decades, including Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, and Dean Martin. He was also a prominent entertainer in the field of improving troop morale during the war as he appeared several times to perform for them. Crosby instilled the idea into popular music that a performer could be a genuine artist rather than becoming a novelty act. He opened the door for future artists to have a well-rounded persona with lyrics that had significance. His popularity continued to throughout the 1940s and he also appeared in several movies. During the 1944- 1949 era, he was the largest box office draw in the world and his legacy continues to this day. 

Edward Hopper

Nighthawks is a 1942 painting by Edward Hopper that portrays people sitting in a downtown diner late at night. It is Hopper's most famous work and is one of the most recognizable paintings in American art. Within months of its completion, it was sold to the Art Institute of Chicago for $3,000, and has remained there ever since. Edward Hopper said that Nighthawks was inspired by "a restaurant on New York's Greenwich Avenue where two streets meet," but the image, with its carefully constructed composition and lack of narrative, has a timeless quality that transcends its particular locale. One of the best-known images of 20th-century art, the painting depicts an all-night diner in which three customers, all lost in their own thoughts, have congregated. Fluorescent lights had just come into use in the early 1940s, and the all-night diner emits an eerie glow, like a beacon on the dark street corner. Hopper eliminated any reference to an entrance, and the viewer, drawn to the light, is shut out from the scene by a seamless wedge of glass. The four anonymous and uncommunicative night owls seem as separate and remote from the viewer as they are from one another. The Nighthawks is an oil on canvas painting that  stored in Art institute of Chicago 

T-Shirt introduced in 1940s


 Different T-Shirt introduced in 1940s




On July the 13th, 1942, the cover story for Life magazine features a photo of a soldier wearing a T-shirt with the text "Air Corps Gunnery School". In the first few years after World War Two, the European fashion for wearing T-shirts as an outer garment, inspired mainly by new US army uniforms, spread to the civilian population of America. Sherry began business in 1948, the owner and founder, Quinton Sandler, was quick to catch onto the new T-shirt trend, and quickly expanded the screen print scarf company into the largest screen print licensed apparel producer in the United States. Soon more and more celebrities were seen on national TV sporting this new risqué apparel including John Wayne, and Marlon Brando. 




By 1948, the T-shirt became commonplace among civilians, as well as a marketing tool for political campaigns. The first recorded shirt featuring a slogan was for New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey’s presidential campaign, which read “Dew it for Dewey.” Fortunately for T-shirts, the outcome of that election had no bearing on the future of the garment’s popularity.






Eventually, the basic white shirt became more than just an undergarment and grew in popularity. Vets would often wear these undershirts as casual clothes, matched with the pants from their uniform, or while doing physical labor, like construction work or training. In 1942, Life magazine even featured a T-shirt-clad soldier on their cover

Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer


ENIAC was the first electronic general-purpose computer. It was Turing-complete, digital, and capable of being reprogrammed to solve a full range of computing problems.
ENIAC was conceived and designed by John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert of the University of Pennsylvania.  ENIAC was designed to calculate artillery firing tables for the United States Army's Ballistic Research Laboratory.

ENIAC's design and construction was financed by the United States Army during World War II. The construction contract was signed on June 5, 1943, and work on the computer began in secret by the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering starting the following month under the code name "Project PX".

The completed machine was announced to the public the evening of February 14, 1946 and formally dedicated the next day at the University of Pennsylvania, having cost almost $500,000 (approximately $6,000,000 today). It was formally accepted by the U.S. Army Ordnance Corps in July 1946. In 1987ENIAC was named an IEEE Milestone

Hitler and The Nazis


A famous Hitler symbol As you see, the Buddhist religious symbols swastika has a much longer history in human world than the Nazi symbols. Hitler stole the Buddhism symbol, but he was using the symbols differently. In Buddhism, the swastika is put flat and not in black color, but the Nazi put the swastika's corner pointing upwards and made it black. Swasticka was used for many different religions through the western world. During WWII it was used as the nazis sign and was on there flags.


Hitler sort to use 4 main aspects the colours white, red and black and the symbol of the swastika. He is quoted as saying: "As National Socialists, we see our program in our flag. In red, we see the social idea of the movement; in white, the nationalistic idea; in the swastika, the mission of the struggle for the victory of the Aryan man, and, by the same token, the victory of the idea of creative work, which as such always has been and always will be anti-Semitic."

The swastika was also comprehended as the symbol of creating acting life and as the race emblem of Germanism.



It was a worldly symbol that had meant Peace in many places and in many religions. Such as, in the Hindu religion, people light earthen lamps in a formation of the 'Swastika', a Hindu symbol of peace in Hindu festival of Diwali, the festival of lights.
