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.
The series Glee began in 2009 with a script by Ryan Murphy – the creator of American Horror Story and Body Parts. The story about talented teenagers, living their hardest times in school society, won not only the hearts of millions of fans and positive reviews from critics but also a lot of awards, including a Golden Globe and 19 nominations for an Emmy.
The first season of the series Glee, which began in 2009, tells the story of how a young and talented Spanish teacher Will Schuster is trying to revitalize the school choir. When he was a high school student, the choir was famous throughout the state, but today it consists only of high school outsiders. So in the subordination of the teacher are teenagers from completely different families and with completely different problems inherent in the members of the society of young age.
The plot of the series emphasized not only the problems of teenagers but also the relationship between children and parents, the problems of understanding and alienation. That is why the series is popular not only among teenagers but also interesting to their parents.
A distinctive feature of the series is the songs. For several seasons of the series, Glee was re-sung more than a thousand popular songs, each of which was beautifully tied to the plot.
As of 2024, the Glee series consists of 6 seasons, each of which has 22 episodes, except for the sixth, which has only 13 episodes.
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.
