‘Les Barbe Magnifique’ translates into The Magnificent Beard which is grande and regal and explores the themes of French culture.
After looking at the barbers pole image and the french connotations of the name, the colours specifically stood out and linked together. So I started to think about the French design and the french culture of both the history and French barber shops.
I thought about the image of the barber pole and how I could use this with the French design looking at the colours and the design.
The barbers pole and the French flag use the same colours and I wanted to look at how these two could be combined to create branding for a company.
“Red, white and blue have come to represent liberty, equality and fraternity – the ideals of the French Revolution. Blue and red are also the time-honored colors of Paris, while white is the color of the Royal House of Bourbon.”
Colour is something I would like to experiment with and explore French Culture within the design and branding and look at how vintage barbers brand their products.
