CO.NL – Orange to Green
It was quite ironic really that it was decided that green would be the new colour of the CO.NL logo seeing as the original colour was orange. It’s not widely known, but there’s a graphic design connection between Ireland and the Netherlands dating back to the 50s. It’s goes something along the lines of Ireland needing talented graphic designers and Dutch designers being offered nice bits of land compared to the cramped spaces they had back home. If you want to know more about that story, check out the book, Oranje & Green. Holland – Ireland, Design Connections 1951-2002 by Conor Clarke.
