Binomio is an exhibition by Marcos Navarro. He has designed a logo for it. A very simple image which represents the concept of binomial, cutting the two ‘o’s in two halves, making two separate letters united by form. An exquisite way of showing two halves within a word (not a single initial letter, like most symbols), something very difficult to do without affecting legibility or looking daft. And its an abstract concept too! A logo I wish I had done.

The Bildrach Filmfest Basel project is just one of the many fine examples of Ludovic Balland’s ability to punch you in the face visually. The deliberately ugly treatment of the fused B and R creates such a gripping impression it becomes quite beautiful when treated in the entire identity. I admire work like this because it challenges our expectations of design thus leaving with a strong memory of the work (whether we love it or hate it).

This rebrand of the English National Ballet ditches the previous ornamental flourishes and replaces them with a brutally modernist logo that doubles as a quote mark and a ballerina’s feet ‘en pointe’. A timeless idea that feels really appropriate; tying in with the ENB’s positioning as the voice of ballet. The crown in the identity are the advertising shots in collaboration with Vivienne Westwood – quintessentially British but with a sense of danger and sexiness.

A clever approach to a sensitive subject. The identity for the Australian Cancer Research Foundation by RE: visually embodies the charities unmitigated purpose — to help make cancer disappear.

A custom typeface with characters of varying weights represents how some cancers are close to disappearing, while others remain all too visible. Supporting the type is a series of strong statements that call out the end of cancer and subsequently the organisation itself.

This Spin project shows how a good, sensible type idea can do wonders for the personality of a brand. The type was inspired by the metal work of bridges found in the neighborhood of La boca. They created a typeface that really expresses the transformation  from an industrial area into a vibrant new art center.

Hubert & Fischer perfectly honors the artist Seline Baumgartner “Nothing Else” project with this book. The typography has the right amount of intentional “incorrectness” which references the motion and flow of the artists work. While this design is quite minimal the typographic gesture creates a striking impression throughout the book.

Frost*collective have designed a brand identity for PizzAperta. Designed around the concept of openness (Aperta translates as open). There are no closed spaces in the logotype, allowing them to use all of the individual typographic elements to create the topping. Genius!

I love this brand identity for Storey Floors by The Company You Keep. Storey Floors is a high-end oak floor manufacturer with a unique workflow allowing for a collaborative approach to production and design. TCYK were responsible for the naming and identity work. A simple, clever name and beautiful word mark that moves.
