Making a Mark: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Recent Logo Redesigns


Using logos as visual shorthand dates back at least as far as the Lascaux cave paintings. These days, of course, there are myriad ways for brands to get their messages outso it’s all the more remarkable that a single image remains the most efficient means of communicating. Imagine a McDonald’s campaign without the golden arches.

When we reimagined Ad Age, we started with our logo. To embrace the strength of our heritage, the new nameplate evokes Ad Age’s founding as a broadsheet in Chicago in 1930, with a sans serif wordmark that spelled out “Advertising Age” in the Kabel typeface, a design created by founder G.D. Crain Jr.

That nameplate evolved over the years, including the customized drawing featuring Moderno created by Roger Black in the ’90s, later updated by James Montalbano in 2015. But it was starting to feel stodgy.

Where Is Marcello Serpa? Heading to NY For His First Art Exhibit


When one of the world’s most-awarded creatives disappears for a three-year sabbatical, people are likely to wonder where he went. So where, exactly, is Marcello Serpa?

Where you’d probably like to be: the beach.

The former partner and chief creative officer of Sao Paulo-based Almap BBDO, who along with Jose Luiz Madeira built the shop into one of Brazil’s most prominent agencies, ditched the boardroom two years ago for the white sands of Oahu, where he surfs and paints in his beachfront house. But his ambition didn’t go on sabbatical: Serpa painted with a goal in mind and, on Oct. 5, he reaches it in New York with the first exhibition of his fine art work.

Q&AA: Publicis Groupe CEO Arthur Sadoun on His First 100 Days (and Next 20 Years)


Arthur Sadoun’s public coming out as president and CEO of Publicis Groupe was in June at Cannes. There the industry did a collective ros-spit take over his pronouncement that the world’s third-largest advertising holding company would take a year off from all awards programs to shift its spend toward a new AI-powered professional assistant platform called Marcel. Slim and dashing, Sadoun, 46, is now repositioning the holding company as a “platform” with a flat leadership team and a client-centric orientation that has more in common with consultancies than traditional agencies. Sadoun walked Ad Age through his first 100 daysand next 20 years, “If I’m lucky.” Our conversation has been edited.

You’re the group’s third CEO in 91 years. What burden does that come with?

What people do not see is that when you look at the history of Publicis, it has always been in tandemtwo people. It was Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet and Maurice Lvy for decades. Then it was Maurice Lvy and lisabeth Badinter. And you should not underestimate the role of lisabeth Badinter as chairman of the board. And now it’s proven to be working as a new team, which is Maurice Lvy and myself.
