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.
Jack Renwick Studio have created a new visual identity for the Carpenters Wharf development on Fish Island in Hackney. For 50 years the site played home to A. Younger, a luxury furniture maker, who shipped timber down the canals to use in their designs. Wood and timber form the inspiration for the name and striking typography. The logo itself cleverly combines a ‘C’ and a fish symbol with the use of a dovetail joint.
The underside of Bishop’s Bridge Road, near Paddington, hosts a moving tribute to pioneering mathematician, code-breaker and father of computer science — Alan Turing, entitled Message from the Unseen World. The text is a poem by poet and playwright Nick Drake which sees Turing speaking posthumously about his life, complete with coded versions of extracts from Turing’s text that disintegrate and fracture as new words replace the previous ones.
Bold & Bold have created a lovely glitchy identity for Channel 4’s short form film series Random Acts in collaboration with 4 Creative. In particular it’s a really clever use of the new Channel 4 brand typeface Horseferry – flipping between the various cuts of the type to create a random glitchy feel to all text. Also the RA condensed monogram for social media is such a simple reduction.
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.
This is the second time this campaign has been deployed but this time it’s on a global scale. Last year the campaign attracted more than 30,000 people to donate blood, watch this space…
A nice new identity from Ragged Edge for drinks photographer Laura Knox with a clever, simple marque at it’s heart. Laura’s initials are cleverly abstracted to create the mirror and prism cross section of a SLR camera.
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!
