Studio Dumbar’s work for Amsterdam Sinfonietta is wonderful in how it does so much with so little. Just type, colour, and scale. Oh, and it really sings when animated. Orchestras afford plenty of creative latitude to graphic designers—yet it’s rare to to see something this distinct, beautiful and off the beaten track. Encore!

Not sure which agency did these but very clever indeed. Made me smile!

Father and son duo Carter Studio have created a confident name and identity for a new cultural venue housed in a Grade II-listed former power station that once served London’s historical world fair site.

The identity centres around an iconic silhouette of the building’s distinctive gables – formed by a neat flip of the X. Supported by industrial typography, originally drawn in the same era, and a distinctive colour palette based on the surviving tiling within the space.

Sociedad Anónima has created an identity for The Museo Morelense de Arte Contemporáneo (MMAC) Juan Soriano, a new art museum in Cuernavaca. The solution perfectly reflects the architectural features of the museum, creating a subtle and distinctive identity through a single custom typeface.

A self-interested post, but we’re very proud of this work with Studio More on the rebrand of sustainable skincare startup UpCircle. The previous name, Optiat (One Person’s Trash Is Another’s Treasure), was a bit opaque (and sounded like eye care). UpCircle points directly to the brand’s mission to ‘upcycle’ discarded ingredients like coffee grounds into skincare products. Allied to a beautiful identity by Studio More, the name completes a rebrand that speaks of both luxury and sustainability.

Manual have created the identity for Supersonic aircraft ‘Boom’, the dream job of many a designer! The logo is a beautiful modernist interpretation of wings worn by pilots, a bird in motion, acceleration! A perfect solution, fantastic photography, renderings and typography. Beautifully crafted and lovely yellow detailing derived from the Peregrine Falcon.

Frost’s rebrand of the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney is one of those ‘wish I’d done that’ solutions. Playfully putting the word SEA at the heart of the name and pairing it with a colour palette that’s inspired by the Australian coast. Everything about this project is thoughtfully executed.

DIA has created a new visual identity for Squarespace influenced by New York City. The city is the birthplace of the brand and a big part of their heritage. DIA has broken down and combined elements of NYC’s architecture and attitude to create a distinctive kinetic look and feel. DIA also collaborated with Optimo Foundry to create Clackson, a custom typeface designed specifically for Squarespace.
