Dowling Duncan US Bank Note Concept on The Import

26th August, 2010

Being a Brit, jaunts to the States have always led to a certain level of confusion when handling their notes – especially after a few ales in the Lower East Side – thanks to their uniformed size and colour… it’s surely a consideration that UK/US agency Dowling Duncan has considered, as their entry for the Dollar ReDe$ign Project embraces the sort of strong note definition that even our most bleary of beer goggles could identify easily. Bright and bold colours, a crisp, contemporary type treatment and brilliant images that are so evocative of American history and culture, Dowling Duncan’s redesign is sophisticated, powerful and so very fit for purpose…

    The 1 dollar and 100 dollar bills would never get approved in the US.

    Maybe in Socialist countries.

    Back to the drawing board.

    pretty design but bad as money. way too strong, simple and obvious. there are good reasons not just technically but also artistically why money should be more neutral and sophisticated. my eyes will bleed if i have to look at those colors everyday.

    this won’t work since the us currency only uses pictures of dead presidents.

    US money does not only use pictures of dead presidents.
    Benjamin Franklin was never president of anything.

    This can be a right blog for anybody who wants to discover more about this topic. You realize a lot of its almost really difficult to argue with you (not that I actually would want…HaHa). You definitely put a different spin for a topic thats really been written about for several years. Amazing stuff, really amazing!
