this is what my client is asking for: a modern look. logo for an art gallery. so to get philosophical about it, what really is MODERN??? any thoughts please...

it's a style. modern and cutting edge are different in fact. For modern, look up bauhaus.
for cutting edge, look at most of newstoday member urls (not mine)

ask your client not us, clients always ask for 'edgy' or 'fresh' but what they mean is 'dull' and 'uninteresting'

"modern" isn't cutting edge...but I take it neither you nor the client use the term the way art theorists and historians do...once again look up bauhaus. I think working with general abstracted terms which are ultimatley subjective leads nowhere, speak in practicle easy to understanding language then throw in your own personality.

But i guess if it's for an art gallery he probably is using "modern" that way...think functional. I'd have to say most "cutting edge" stuff is post-modern. It's more diverse eclectic and personal. A contradiction but that's what post-modernism is all about...but "cutting edge modern" is a contradiction too so maybe he wants post-modern...um I suggest you take this one out on him. you're just going to confuse everyone else.

I wouldn't call Post-Modern work a contemporary movement, it's dated as well.

The problem with clients using terms like this is that everyones interpretation of MODERN is slightly different. If you don't think the client will be offended or think you're a goose, ask them for samples, or send them links to 5 other logos of what you think is modern and ask them which is closer direction of the style they want.

depends on what they want, there are a lot of different ideas
