LOGO ART… a new artistic trend on the graffiti scene, precursor of the Street-Art. The artist paints a logo, icon or character in a reiterated way. The signature is replaced by a design that acts as a logotype. This is the most effective way for the audience to be recognized, being the audience the people walking on the street according to El Xupet Negre.
