Chapter 80 A new and classy logo
I want to ask what was the hottest topic on the Internet at the end of 2003.

Trendy people surfing the Internet will tell you in one voice, "What exactly is colorful black?"

This topic quickly spread on the Internet after the poster appeared on the campus network, from the BBS of major schools to major chat rooms.

Someone took a photo of the poster with a digital camera and uploaded it to a forum. He wrote "The big picture kills the cat" and he got hundreds of responses a day.

Of course, the vast majority of netizens do not focus on "colorful black".

Instead, they were discussing together what kind of second-bill boss on the campus network could make such a bizarre request.

This kind of topic discussion instantly aroused the resonance of designers, and immediately some insiders came out to give their own opinions.

In each post, you can meet several angry designers, accusing the weird clients they met over the years.

Because some people spoke too violently, their accounts were banned and warned by administrators.

As a new employee of the campus network, Shen Yijiang often pays attention to these posts, and sometimes he can't help but discuss a few words.

As a designer in an advertising company, he meets very few normal people from client A in his daily work.

Why don't you say anything beforehand, but ask for a lot afterwards?

If you have no cultural quality, you can't even understand what you're talking about, and you have to blame the designer for his poor understanding.

He was deeply touched when he saw those words on the poster on the campus network.

Today, as usual, he opened the forum he often visited to flood people. As soon as he entered the page, he saw several hot posts.

The post was still heatedly debating how stupid the demand for "colorful black" was, and why the boss of the campus network was able to get out of a mental hospital.

A lot of people echoed the post and cursed their boss and Party A one after another.

But one of the replies immediately became a hot topic, and he was the first to mock the poster designer.

Ye's youth: "This kind of idiot can also be a designer. My athlete's foot is better than his."

E-net said affectionately: "Why is it so vulgar and unqualified upstairs? But the poster is really ugly."

Internet affairs are like smoke: "Where is Mozhu (moderator), please make your post more precise."

E said affectionately: "Go upstairs and publish a poster for the campus network. There is a bonus of 100,000 yuan."

Ye's youth: "One hundred thousand dollars is enough for me to spend, it's not worth mentioning at all."

Internet affairs are like smoke: "That reward is just to tease fools, there is no such thing as colorful black."

Later in the post, someone ridiculed that the poster looked like kindergarten graffiti, and that the person who made the poster was simply mentally retarded.

Shen Yijiang couldn't help it at that time. It's okay if you scold the boss, but if you scold Teacher Hong, don't blame me for being rude.

Although the poster was indeed outrageously ugly, Teacher Hong was the elder brother who led him to debut and taught him many things. How could he be slandered by vulgar people like you?

Come on!

Yiwei Dujiang said: "Are the people upstairs paralyzed from the mouth down? They look like they have underdeveloped brains and cerebellum when they speak."

Ye's Youth: "The dog is barking?"

E-net is deeply affectionate: "Don't be rude when crossing the river with a reed. Let's have a good discussion and don't make personal attacks."

Yiwei crossed the river: "Do you call peeing in the open a discussion?"

Ye's Youth: "The dog is barking?"

Yiwei crossed the river: "@叶の青青, you can just introduce yourself once, no need to repeat it."

Ye’s Youth: “#@!￥@#￥#”

I think I am Hai (Administrator): "@叶の青青,@一伟多江, give me a warning, and you will be banned if you violate the rules again."

Internet affairs are like smoke: "That's right, let's discuss it properly. Don't use bad words."

Yi Wei crossed the river: "Are you having a serious discussion?"

E Net affectionately asked: "What does it have to do with you if we say the poster is ugly?" Yiwei Dujiang said: "It doesn't matter whether the poster is ugly or not, as long as it can achieve the advertising effect. Facts have proved that the poster design is very successful, because the ugly achieves the communication effect. You guys Discussion here itself is free publicity for advertising.”

Internet affairs are like smoke: "Haha, stop putting money on the face of the campus network. Such ugly posters are indeed successful and have become a negative case."

Ye's Youth: "The campus network is just a clown for sensationalizing, and there are still people like you who are mentally retarded to clean up the campus network."

Internet affairs are like smoke: "It's just that, the campus network treats everyone as a fool? What a colorful black thing, just say it if you don't want to spend 100,000 yuan, why bother."

Yiwei crossed the river: "Don't talk if you have little experience. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

E said affectionately: "Haha, please let this expert show us. If you can find colorful black, I will give you 10,000 yuan."

Ye's youth: "Don't be ridiculous, you are such a trash, you dare to come out and say that others have little knowledge. If you show the colorful black, I will stand on my head and eat shit."

Shen Yijiang was so angry that he was about to spray it back again, but suddenly he stopped and silently closed the forum page.

Colorful black...

He was immediately discouraged. This thing didn't exist. How could he have the confidence to confront others?

Shen Yijiang picked up the paintbrush in a depressed mood, and when he was about to start working, he suddenly heard a burst of applause and cheers.

He raised his head and saw several people surrounding Teacher Hong's workstation, including the boss, Mr. Qin.

At this moment, Mr. Qin smiled very happily and kept patting Teacher Hong on the shoulder and praising him, "As expected of Teacher Hong, this is the edition. Send it out immediately. Remember to write Teacher Hong's name!"

Teacher Hong grinned with joy and quickly refused, "This is not good, this is not good. The creativity belongs to the boss, I just draw it."

Shen Yijiang moved forward curiously. As soon as he squeezed into the crowd, his eyes were attracted by the computer screen.

What the hell!

what is this? !!

Shen Jiang felt that his brain was lacking oxygen for a while, and he was in a dizzy state.

After opening his mouth for a long time, Shen Yijiang was unable to speak.

There was only one thought in my head, it turns out that there really is colorful black in the world!
The latest LOGO of the campus network is displayed on Teacher Hong's computer screen. The fonts and letters are all three-dimensional black metal texture.

A layer of colorful colors is applied to the black and shiny fonts, as if a rainbow is flowing on it.

Brilliant and colorful.

The black, low-key and mysterious background, coupled with rainbow reflections, makes the exquisite and high-end temperament almost overflow the screen.

Shen Yijiang understood at this time that high-end atmosphere, class, low-key luxury and connotation can be used in the same thing.

"So this is what it feels like to be among the top 500 in the world." Shen Yijiang said to himself.

This LOGO can be regarded as a top-notch work in the design world, and not even top design masters can do it.

Shen Yijiang saw the new logo on the homepage of the campus website, and felt a sense of pride in his heart.

He immediately sat back at his desk, opened the forum and wrote a post.

"Let the ignorant people see what colorful black is! The big picture kills the cat, so be careful!"

Then upload a screenshot of the logo and post it.

In less than a minute, the post had been viewed hundreds of times, and all the replies were in a tone of exclamation.

"Brilliant!"

“My wife, come out and see God!”

"Damn it, there are so many colors of black, I apologize for my ignorance!"

The IDs that responded did not include the people who bet with Shen Yijiang, but he no longer cared.

The campus network's LOGO is destined to be recorded in the history of the Internet, and a few clowns are not worth mentioning.
