New – old style bills in Denmark

Danish-50-kroners-bill-2009

Yesterday the Danes got a new version of the 50 krone banknote. We are sad to see that the design once again looks like something that was designed 200 years old. Why do we have to have a banknotes that makes our country look like something from the Stone Age. The colors, the graphic elements the fonts and even the motive…  an old bridge and things found from the antiquity. Damn, it’s so boring.  A bridge may be a nice metaphor for connecting people, but still we live in the twenty first century. We think the new bills doesn’t represent a country full of design lovers. Dear Nationalbank, next time you upgrade the Danish banknotes, please give the assignment to a bunch of young Danish designers and let them show the path to the future of paper money.

We love great design

Normann Copenhagen is a way of living - a mindset. We like to think of it as putting on a pair of glasses and seeing the world in a different way. We love to challenge the conventional design rules.

On this blog we write about our design, the designers, and interesting things we spot around our hometown - Copenhagen.

Enjoy
Normann Copenhagen
