Duck & Dry is a new blow dry bar in the heart of Chelsea, London. Designed by Wiedemann Lampe, the brand identity for the new venture revolves around a clever duck-shaped ampersand. Beautifully crafted, it gives the logo a lovely charm and a high end feel. All topped off with a soft duck egg blue colour palette and lots of strong copy.
This new brand identity for London’s iconic Camden Market is a lovely example of type as a key brand idea. Based on the infamous Camden Market bridge sign – the typeface serves as a flexible way for the market to get across its diversity and history. The resulting black and white identity fits Camden’s non-conformist history perfectly.
A classically elegant, and thoroughly delightful, concept, beautifully executed by Werklig in Helsinki. The font choices are gorgeous and distinctive, the colours lively and charming. But it all comes down to that central logo, which says it all in a single mark. Pretty much perfect.
Royal Mail have released a set of six commemorative stamps to mark the centenary of Agatha Christie writing her first detective story. The stamps, designed by Studio Sutherl& and illustrated by Neil Webb, depict a complex plot in one single frame, together with hidden clues only revealed with UV light, heat, in negative space or by using a magnifying glass.
This new identity from Supple Studio is a masterclass in the art of combination. D.R.A.W is the result of the merger of two of the most respected recruitment agencies in the global art market.
The identity is a combination of a clever interlocking monogram, great copy and a beautiful series of three dimensional interpretations of the logo. The variety of materials used in the interlocking components suggest the scope of experience – from traditional to contemporary.
Really lovely identity for Australia Design Radio by Christopher Doyle & Co. The shape of Australia is represented by the visual language of graphic equalizers. When the radio station is on-air then the graphic equalizer moves, then returns to the shape of the continent when off-air. Simple, clever and beautifully crafted. Definitely want one of those T-shirts.
Studio Sutherland has produced a beautiful set of interlocking boxes for Boss Box to demonstrate the range of packaging they have available. An extremely clever use of the children’s rhyme ‘There was an old lady’ playfully leads you through the collection. A clever idea, beautifully crafted. It doesn’t get much better than that!
Not only is it a FANTASTIC idea, but the animals are beautifully designed too. Osborne Ross designed a series of 6 animal stamps to appeal to children (and adults!). The stamps also have fold marks, showing where to position them on the envelope so they look like they are clinging onto the edge. Genius. And getting the post office to actually do this. Double Genius!
