Springs’ Smokery
Distil Studio
Jamie Ellul:

Springs’ Smokery nestles in the South Downs in Sussex. For three generations, they have used nothing but traditional dry-salting and logs of Sussex oak to produce their prime smoked salmon.

Using the charcoal from their brick kilns, Distil Studio have drawn a series of expressive marks and textures born from the very heart of their process. Such a creative yet simple solution, right down to the nod to the wood chunks in the apostrophe.

Society for Experimental Biology
Purpose & Radda
Stuart Youngs

A bold network of lines and shapes contrast with beautiful biological illustrations and striking colours, capturing the unique spirit and vibrancy of the SEB’s extraordinary connections and its expanding network.

The dynamic and ever-changing ‘E’ element within the logo emphasises the experimental nature at the heart of the organisation. The result: a distinctive logo and brand identity that feels alive with science.

Triticum
Losiento Studio
Pablo Juncadella:

This project is an example of how good design solutions can be humorous and beautifully crafted at the same time. Losiento have become experts at this. Treating bread like living beings (by building holes in a cardboard boxes) makes sense not only for practical reasons but it adds wit to the project. Thus capitalizing on one of the most important aspects of fresh bread: The lovely smell.

Peace for Paris
Jean Jullien
Loran Stosskopf:

Within an hour after the Paris attacks, an artist’s heartfelt symbol of peace became a worldwide sign of support for France. The illustration is powerful in its simplicity: A peace symbol (originally by Gerald Holtom) with the Eiffel tower, rendered in bold, black strokes against a white background. Jean Jullien created the image, “Peace for Paris,” and posted it on Twitter and Instagram. Jean Jullien has developed a remarkable ability to synthesize.

Altavins. Culture and wine.
Senyor Estudi
Tilman Sole:

The Terra Alta region has experienced the passage of numerous cultures. Ilercavònia, Almodí and Domus Pensi are small discoveries, vestiges of the presence of these cultures in our land that have left their mark on how we work and how we cultivate the vine. Typographically, the labels reflect this concept, with an upturned letter ‘A’ giving shape to a logotype that reinforces the duality of Alta Vins.

The Balvenie 50
Here Design
Jamie Ellul:

The Balvenie Malt Master, David Stewart, is one of the most respected and longest serving in the whisky industry. To celebrate his remarkable 50 years with the distillery, The Balvenie released an extremely rare 50 year old. Here Design’s idea was to represent the passing 50 years using 50 layers of wood. Crafted from 49 slices of native Scottish timbers, the 50th ring is brass engraved with the story of 50 years of The Malt Master’s career.

Mega-glossy
The Rodina
Tilman Sole:

Sometimes it seems that everything is invented until something fresh and simple appears. This is the case of the book serie of Mox Nox. The mega-glossy mirror covers and the colorful surfaces that categorize authors and title, reflect the new look about architecture, design innovation and urbanism that publishing house Mox Nox wants to achieve.

A+I=M
Heydays
Tilman Sole:

Mellbye is an architect studio in Norway. Create an identity that combines the two initials of their main services (architecture and interior) and at the same times shows an M that stands for Mellbye, is a brilliant solution. A papel palette and the use of lyers, reflect their use of materials in buildings. Well done Heydays.

San Fran Poster
Purpose
Stuart Youngs

Mucho and AIGA San Francisco organised an exhibition and silent auction entitled InsideOut SF, exploring the variety of interpretations and opinions on this popular destination.

Inspired by the San Andreas Fault, this two-leaved poster experiments with the fragility of a city built on a fault line: the top sheet being torn in half through the middle of the typography, to reveal the fault line running through San Fran.
