Typographic town logos in hiragana/katakana [Typographic logo for Kamagaya (Chiba) spells town name in katakana] Japanese town logos -- official symbols designed to communicate the identity of each municipality -- come in a vast array of shapes and colors. Many of these municipal symbols incorporate typographical elements (particularly kanji, hiragana, katakana, and Roman letters) into their designs. In most cases, the stylized characters are straightforward and easy to spot (even if you don't read Japanese), but sometimes you have to bend your eyes to see them. The more complex logos encode the name of the town into a puzzle-like symbol that begs to be deciphered. Here are a few typographic town logos that make clever use of hiragana and katakana characters.

Bieber, a local filmmaker, has launched an online campaign to find the photographer of an amazing set of black-and-white photos that capture New York City during last month’s huge snowstorm. As Bieber tells it in his YouTube video, one day following the storm he decided to strap on his “crappy” cross-country skis (apparently the only practical mode of transportation at the time) and headed out to Prospect Park.

There are several variables to consider when using a web site to view images. Screen SizeGraphics Card/resolutionColour controlsNavigational elements within the user interface of the web page. As a photographer, you have no control on how people, set their computer up or buy the hardware they use.
