Glee is the name of the popular American tv-series, which was first introduced to the audience in 2009. By today Glee has already released six seasons of more than a hundred twenty episodes. This music tv-show is considered to be one of the most popular in its genre not only in North America but all over the globe.
Meaning and history
The Glee visual identity is very interesting, as, actually, it has never been rede-signed since the day of its introduction, at the end of the 2000s, but for each new season the classic logotype with its clean lines, is being executed in a new palette and gets some additions, which make it look completely different.
The original Glee logo is a lowercase inscription in a sleek and modern sans-serif typeface, which looks very similar to such fonts as ITC Avant Garde Gothic Std Medium and Nordeco Semibold. The thing, that makes the logotype memorable and unique is the absence of space between the three last letters of the wordmark. Only the first lowercase “G” is not glued to the neighboring letter.
The official Glee logo is executed in a monochrome color palette, where both ver-sions — black on white, and white on black — are equally used by the franchise. Though for the newest seasons, the Glee logotype is being executed in brighter colors. So we can see it in yellow, dark red, or both, with a thick outline, or without any.
Another version of the Glee logo is based on the same inscription, but with the let-ter “L” replaced by the hand, where the thumb and forefinger repeat the shape of the uppercase “L”. This logo looks cool and reflects the mood and audience of the franchise, at the same time making it stand out in the list of numerous series, being modern, friendly and fun.
