Faraday Future
Rob Duncan:

We all know a brand isn’t just a great logo. But in my opinion every brand still needs a great logo. This one really caught my eye recently. Beautifully clever and simple, two letter ‘Fs’ creating a forward arrow. It looks fantastic on the car. Designed in-house by Bryce Shawcross. Great work, looking forward to seeing much more from this company in the near future. Would love to take this car for a spin too.

D.R.A.W identity
Supple Studio
Paul Felton:

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.

Australian Design Radio
Christopher Doyle & Co.
Rob Duncan:

Really lovely identity for Australia Design Radio by Christopher Doyle & Co. The shape of Australia is represented by the visual language of graphic equalizers. When the radio station is on-air then the graphic equalizer moves, then returns to the shape of the continent when off-air. Simple, clever and beautifully crafted. Definitely want one of those T-shirts.

Laura Knox Identity
Ragged Edge
Paul Felton:

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.

Luke Robertson:
