Studio Dumbar’s work for Amsterdam Sinfonietta is wonderful in how it does so much with so little. Just type, colour, and scale. Oh, and it really sings when animated. Orchestras afford plenty of creative latitude to graphic designers—yet it’s rare to to see something this distinct, beautiful and off the beaten track. Encore!

M35’s branding for Australian Film Television and Radio School conveys a beautiful sense of movement with the simplest graphic touch. The concept visually references a timeline—a device used both for vision and sound editing. A deft use of typography allows the ‘timeline’ effect to work wonderfully across all the branded materials from print through to web—and it looks lovely in motion, too.
