Chimney with water tanks in the evening. On the recommendation of Walter Gropius, Carl Benscheidt employed the graphic designer Max Hertwig, who designed the dynamic company logo—it has a lively feel to it, like a handwritten signature. You can see it now on your screen. Hertwig switched the colors around and put the company name in white on a black background. In doing so, he achieved a more intense effect, with the white letters seeming to stand out from the black background and almost jump out at the observer.
