Garbett have produced a lovely responsive identity for Goulburn Regional Art Gallery in Australia. The logo is particularly beautiful and works so well at a variety of sizes. The repetition of form in the symbol is meant to reflect the tilled soil, wool and mark-making found in Australian Art.

Every year MARK tackle the visual identity for Manchester Literature Festival (MLF) – and every time they do something clever and appropriate. MLF is one of the biggest and best urban literature festivals in the UK; a showcase of the very best in contemporary writing from across the world. And this year (the 11th year, no mean feat in itself) MARK have surpassed themselves with a visual identity based around the visual distortions of book edges. A simple idea but one that has infinite legs.

M35’s branding for Australian Film Television and Radio School conveys a beautiful sense of movement with the simplest graphic touch. The concept visually references a timeline—a device used both for vision and sound editing. A deft use of typography allows the ‘timeline’ effect to work wonderfully across all the branded materials from print through to web—and it looks lovely in motion, too.

Australian agency Studio Band really nailed it with this idea. Clever, Clean and Coffee. All the “C’s” and a great big “D”. Love it!

Issho translates as ‘together’ in Japanese, so the idea of ’togetherness’ was a theme throughout, with the Japanese art of kintsugi (repairing broken pottery with gold) being at the core. 3 bespoke patterns were created with Eley Kishimoto. The restaurant is based in Leeds, so the British pattern features the white rose of Yorkshire, the Japanese pattern was created with an ichimatsu stream reference. Light boxes were used for directional signs to reference traditional Japanese paper lamps.

The Daddy Long Legs is an extremely rare and special fortified wine, making it one of Australia’s most expensive fortifieds. Its production is limited to the contents of only two remaining barrels set aside for over 40 years, making its quantity limited and its quality exceptional. The barrel shed that housed the wine is inhabited by hundreds of ‘Daddy Long Leg’ spiders who have kept a watchful eye over these barrels for decades. Incredible idea and next level production by Voice Design.

Most hotels want you to spend time in them. But when you’re in the heart of the city, why stay cooped up in your room? Branded by Ragged Edge – Assembly is a new hotel brand that encourages its guests to get up and go. It’s all held together with an eclectic bespoke typeface, but the real difference is the copy – telling people not to stay in your hotel, but to get out and explore instead is fresh and ballsy. Love it.

An ancient City Guild, The Fishmongers’ Company has upheld standards in fish trading for more than 700 years. The Company recently created certification to celebrate professional excellence and approached Freytag Anderson to create the visual identity for the new Master Fishmonger Standard. They’ve created a lovely simple ribbon / fishtail marque for starters, but the main dish is the beautiful imagery created by printing with fish – inspired by the gyotaku technique used by Japanese fishermen.
