1945 – today
The logo of the publication consists of the title written in large capital letters with serifs.
Translated from French, the name means “she” and points to the publication’s focus on a female audience. Interestingly, the name resonates with the name of the magazine’s founder, Hélène Gordon-Lazareff, indicating that Elle was conceived by a woman.
The pronoun indicates a composite image. Covering issues hypothetically interesting to all representatives of the female sex.
The letters of the inscription appear elongated at the top, hinting at the slimness and grace of the female figure. A model standard of thinness and tall stature. This approach shows that the magazine talks a lot about fashion and style.
The presence of serifs points to a sharp, attentive mind capable of logic and understanding details. Each magazine article is a complete example with interesting hooks and a clear, logical presentation of information. In the style of the letters, there is some stiffness and conservatism that convey the seriousness and rigor towards content, the absence of radical and screaming tendencies.
Font and Colors
The color of the inscription is monochromatic. The black palette indicates coverage of important issues. The contrast between the white background and the title presents the magazine as a standard of style and classic beauty.
The font of the inscription resembles Didonesque Medium Condensed. The triangular semi-circular glyphs in each letter resemble a woman’s scarf or neckerchief, which are often present in the image of French women. They are, like hooks, which know how to hook the reader and captivate with the material of the article.
