ORTIZ LOPEZ
A MAN OF LETTERS
What really intrigues me about Ortiz Lopez is his perspective on the matter. "I don't love type. Type is dull." Lopez says. "I have friends who can talk about type for days. I can do that, but, gee, it gets pretty shallow. This is the easiest thing I know how to do to make a living, so I do it."
PC magazine, Rollingstones mag, Men's Journal, Vogue, InSyle, People... the list goes on... and he's done virtually every logotype out there.
