Farewell
Stockholm Design Lab
Rob Duncan:

In Europe alone, 35 billion kilometers are driven by delivery trucks that are completely empty. Why? Legacy software systems have created a situation where crucial data isn’t shared, and hence important decisions are based on poor information. Farewell, designed by Stockholm Design Lab, is a great example of design making a difference. A revolutionary logistics application, in one common language, with all important information being shared in real time. View case study here.

Little Green Pig
Baxter & Bailey
Rob Duncan:

A really sweet idea from Baxter & Bailey. Little Green Pig is a writing and mentoring charity for young people in Sussex. They believe in the right to write, and that this vital form of self-expression builds confidence, communication and literacy skills. As they say on their website: s’nowt like a lovely little logo job. Couldn’t agree more.

James Corden
Carpool Karaoke
Rob Duncan:

Such a good idea for The Late Late Show in the US. We all love singing to music on the way to work, so why not pick up the artist for a live Karaoke session and access to the carpool lane. It’s a great feature on the show and has gone viral on social media as well. Check out all of the other artists too. Enjoy.

Mulberry Mongoose
Fact Studio
Rob Duncan:

Mulberry Mongoose in a jewelry label based in the Zambian bush. Worn by Hillary Clinton, Leonardo DiCaprio and Sting, Fact Studio were tasked with making it appeal more to the Western Market. They created a beautiful fabric used throughout the identity and were Inspired by anecdotes from the women behind the brand, who literally laugh in the face of adversity. “Stories of a life less ordinary”.

Verso
The Studio
Rob Duncan:

Such a simple, clever, beautifully crafted project by Stockholm agency The Studio. Verso is latin for reverse, as in the backview of a dress or the backside of a painting. Verso Skincare is proven to help reverse the signs of aging.

PizzAperta
Frost*collective
Rob Duncan:

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!

The Wave
Alex Rasmussen
Rob Duncan:

Manufacturer/designer Alex Rasmussen from Santa Barbara was asked to exhibit as part of the London Design Festival at Somerset House. He is an expert in Aluminum. His contribution to the festival was a 2.90m-tall anodised aluminum wave. Living and working in Santa Barbara California and being a surfer he combined his love for aluminum and the Pacific with this fantastic idea. Allowing visitors to walk on and interact with his design/sculpture created the perfect ‘instagram’ moment.

Wove
Manual
Rob Duncan:

In late 2015, Polyera announced the Wove™ Band, as the world’s first flexible display product. The Wove band features a flexible always-on touch display which can either lay flat or wrap around a wrist. Manual have created the brand identity, compositions, packaging and photography style. At the core of the brand identity is the logo—The shifting weight of individual characters conceptually echoes the nature of the display which is completely customizable and ever-changing.
