The typestyle suited an entry and the American Eagle brand, thought I. Though a formal typographic branding approach like this might not have been where I started the creative process. But since I did see it and give it thought, the designer created the desired impact. Who am I to second guess where I would have embedded hints of brand and an architectural sense of place. Interesting to note that sister store, Aerie® Intimates got the bird branding. See below.
