The word STUFF is part of the logo-title designed by Ruben DeLuna for the very succeful 20-minute documentary THE STORY OF STUFF with Annie Leonard .  "The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever." says Annie. As you can see the letterforms are made by stuff that everyday we consciously or unconsciously buy, collect, store-and-forget-we-have, stuffing our environment and, most importantly, stuffing our mind. In the yoga tradition the mind is called "citta vrtti" translated in english as "the mind stuff".

It's about the people who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It's about our relationship to mass-produced objects and, by extension, the people who design them." (from HelveticaFilm.com website) ... and the calligram logo speaks clearly what the documentary film is about. Notice In this case the concept of the calligram is reversed: it's not the image made by words, but the word made by images... well, objects. So, how can we call it? perhaps "objectified" word .
