In medieval times, Norwich was an international trading centre with merchants’ marks — precursors of modern logos — stamped onto goods and carved into buildings. Discover how weavers, dyers, brewers and merchants applied fascinating trademarks of geometric design and ancient symbolism to represent their identity and expertise.
Workshop participants will contemplate their personal story, profession or family heritage to inspire and make their own signature sign to take home. Afterwards their logos will be recreated digitally for them to use on screen.
Darren Leader is the author of ‘Logo Rewind: Trademarks of Medieval Norwich’, winner of the History and Tradition Award at East Anglian Book Awards 2024.
