Pentagram has designed a lovely typographic poster, inspired by the interconnectivity of the London Underground. Transport for London has commissioned a series of posters by 11 prominent design studios to celebrate the centenary of the Johnston typeface, used throughout the London Underground network.
The original paste up of this brilliant book that has inspired so many graphic designers. Watching Words Move was originally produced in 1959 as a handmade typographic notebook of pasted-up words and done in one day in the Composing Room in New York. Imagine how many days a book like this would take to design now! View the new website of Brownjohn’s iconic work here.
Great Idea by New York artist Joshua Allen Harris. Creatures constructed from trash bags come to life using the air flowing around and out of the New York Subway stations.
Simple, effective, clever idea from M_Four Creative. How do you encourage people to go to the Pharmacy before heading to A&E? Take out A&E…Simple!
Natsuki is a new Japanese restaurant based in Madrid designed by Philippe Starck. Erretres have designed the identity bringing together the traditional elements of Japanese life in a very modern way. It is inspired by the phases of the moon (Suki meaning ‘moon’), and traditional Kamons (Japanese family emblems). These new Kamons were then infused with neon light colors and the Kawaii culture of Japan. The result is beautiful, fun, fresh and sophisticated. A really lovely project.
Johnson Tiles are a leading manufacturer of tiles in the UK and abroad. A large proportion of their target audience is the architect and specifiers market. The Chase have created a series of very clever posters promoting their range of tiles to this specific audience. All the tiles featured were shot in proportion and without any image manipulation.
Great name and identity designed by Character. Playground is a unique combination of a venture fund and a start-up studio. The identity represents the firm’s grounded expertise and their belief that play should be part of the process. Clever, beautifully crafted and supported by a lovely animation that you can enjoy here.
This is a beautiful rebrand for the Co-Op by North. I’m a huge fan of brands looking back to their past to move forward. It was such a great identity and memorable image when we were growing up. A lot of the memories and equity that many people associated with the Co-Op will have been reinstilled without the company having to do any marketing at all. Brilliant move by the Co-Op and great work by North. Now, if we can just get United to go back the Tulip logo…
