Forty years ago, the most famous Czech brand, PRIM PNO1, was registered. It was created in 1968 by renowned graphic designer Jiří Rathouský and his wife, Mrs. Theodora Nováková. On September 11, 1984, the state enterprise Chronotechna officially registered this trademark with the Industrial Property Office.
Let’s take a closer look together into the unique historical archives, which in 2016 revealed treasures from their joint work on the PRIM logo for the former national enterprise.
Why did the national enterprise commission a logo from such a prominent designer in the late 1960s? The answer is simple: if you wanted to create a logo for a state enterprise, you had to be a member of the Art Council and defend your design before a committee. Fees for the designs were paid only through the Fine Arts Fund, of which both Dora Nováková and Jiří Rathouský were members.
