Even at primary school, Andreas Karl had preferred to draw pirate ships in his world atlas or sketch rockets and futuristic space ships as they soar through the galaxy rather than listen to the teacher. He now regards it as a blessing that he is fortunate enough to make a living from doing what he loves most: creating and illustrating. Andreas Karl became a graphic designer in Würzburg/Germany. It was here that he had studied Visual Communication / Graphics & Design and he immediately set himself up as an illustrator and freelance designer as soon as he graduated. Initially his work involved designing the covers for children’s books and he began to self-publish his own local newspaper entitled “Shorts“. It was during his numerous visits to renowned design agencies in the US that he discovered his passion for logo design.
Andreas Karl quickly outgrew Würzburg and for the next 13 years worked as a Creative Director for several large advertising agencies in Frankfurt and Hamburg. When participating in an international design contest for the new single currency, the Euro, Andreas Karls entry succeeded in reaching the top ten. In an international referendum organized by Europe’s leading national newspapers, no fewer than one million Europeans opted for his coin design, making him the overall winner. In 2004, Karl moved to Vienna and founded his own studio Karl Design - Marken für Morgen.
The past 25 years have seen more than 1200 logos created by him, and far more than 250 of these have been honored. His many years of experience within logos and brands have led to his selection as a judge on several international design committees. Andreas says: “In our visually overloaded and fast paced time, in which the individual himself receives less and less attention, individuality and distinctness become all the more important. The first step towards this is to ensure you - respectively your company - have a clear and consistent corporate design. The centerpiece should be a unique visual symbol that reflects your soul in a nutshell.”
