In Logos, Christopher Haanes gathers word images made for publishers, businesses, institutions and friends, alongside personal Christmas cards, alphabets and digitized calligraphy.

His approach is to try to make good letters, which is what the ‘kali’ in calligraphy stands for. A logo should carry an atmosphere or a mood rather than let the concept get the upper hand. Through the choice of writing tool, weight, cursivity and style, the letters show what the hand can do and the machine cannot. As he writes: ‘It is my hope that the tailor-made, crafted word will endure.’
