The logo
The Foundation Alma Dal Co (FAD) logo aims to establish an immediate connection between science, music and the sea, the three major passions of Alma’s life.
The sign of “mordente” or “mordant” is a music notation indicating that the note has to be played in a single rapid alternation with the note above or below.
The blue color and the two waves refer to the sea and to science.
The script’s font is a typeface named “bodoni” from Giambattista Bodoni, one of the major graphic designers, publishers, and printers.
