The Paris Catacombs, a prominent but macabre tourist destination housing the remains of six million, features a distinctive logo designed in 2019. This logo, shaped as a large 'C', cleverly uses negative space to resemble a human skull, representing the site's history and inviting visitors. The design's typography reflects a transition from life to death, balancing creativity with the somber theme of mortality. While initially viewed as playful, the logo has become a fitting emblem of the quirky attraction it represents for tourists.
Even more cleverly, the triangle nose positioned between the gap in the counter of the C appears to form an entrance indicator, inviting visitors to venture into the depths of the city if they dare.
Mo-To said at the time that the various categories of weights and styles found in the lettering pay homage to the ossuary.
