金属LOGO设计师-Christophe Szpajdel最近似乎不少人对LOGO感兴趣,这个是我原来翻着玩的了,里面有些地方似乎有误,所以如果英文水平足够建议直接看原文.也许你并不知道谁是Christophe Szpajdel,但你不可能不知道EMPEROR.作为这支传奇黑金属乐队的LOGO设计者,有"KING OF LOGO"之称的Christophe Szpajdel在圈内却表现有些低调,GOOGLE出来的结果也只是几个访谈和一些相关网页,这和其自身的地位实在不是很匹配.由于网络上的访谈大多比较长,翻译过来多少要花去一定时间,所以我找了一个很简短的,至少该让大家知道他是谁.
以下资料摘自瑞典DEATH/DOOM乐队Netherbird官网,本人粗略翻译了一下,如果英文水平足够建议直接看原文.
Christophe Szpajdel
Logo artist who crafted the Netherbird logo
Q:Who is Christophe, tell something about yourself?
Christophe是谁,谈谈你自己?
A:Hello, I am the author of some very important logos like Emperor, Moonspell (old), Enthroned and a totally dedicated individual to the underground. Always very busy, i am happy to help with some art as long as the request is serious and the person behind it is loyal. I come from Belgium but recently moved again in Exeter where currently work (two part times, including my logo artwork, i recently took my art to a higher level and i feel proud of it).
大家好,我是一些很重要的LOGO的作者,比如EMPEROR,MOONSPELL(早期),ENTHRONED,同时特别关注于地下(乐队).我总是很忙,我也很乐意于帮助那些乐手,只要他们的要求是认真并且严肃的.我是比利时人,不过最近又搬到了埃克塞特(英国),也在那里工作(两份兼职,包括我的LOGO设计,最近我的绘画又达到了一个更高的境界,我为此感到很自豪.).
What is your inspiration when you do your art? Can you describe your style?
当你创作的时候,你的灵感是什么?能不能描述一下你的画风?
Mostly nature but also states of anger and despair, sadness. Oppression and people who've been upsetting me. they are a real source of inspiration. I really would like to qualify my style as ariegated, independant and going in many possible direction. Simply pushing my limits further and further, every logo i do is a challenge...to a new dimention.
大多是自然的,同时还有愤怒以及绝望,悲伤,压抑,还有那些让我苦恼的人.他们就是真正灵感的来源.我真的想让我的风格能够独树一帜,有许多种可能的解释,使我的极限不断提升,每次我要创作一个新的LOGO的时候都是一种挑战---到达一种新的高度.
Tell someting about the Netherbird logo". What is its title and what does it symbolize for you?
说说Netherbird的这个LOGO吧,上面的那个抬头是什么,这对你来说又象征了什么?
The Netherbird was in my idea to have the Bird from the netherworld, could be a raven or an eagle, so i defined the Netherbird as an intermediate between both, rising like the phoenix from the flames of the netherworlds. And the shapes of the letters reminds Netherbird remains an extreme yet original METAL band.
这是我的一个关于来自阴间的鸟的构思,可以是一只乌鸦或是老鹰,我把它定义为一个在我们之中的媒介物,就像一个从阴间的烈火中飞起的凤凰.至于字母的形状则提醒大家,这只阴间的飞鸟代表了极端---特别是象征纯粹的金属乐队.
