A celebration of the stories – fact and folklore – behind English words, symbols and punctuation. How words have been constructed, how syllables come together to create new meanings, and how the meanings themselves morph as the world moves on. The poster is simply the printed sheets from the book – overprinted with the title itself. Published by Sutherl&Bard – the book is available on the website.
The chain is a strong symbol of slavery that works singly on one stamp and links together on a sheet to make an even bolder statement. When form and content work hand by hand, they elevate a piece of work to a different level. A great example of the power of simplicity and wit.
The perfect marriage between concept and execution, this iconic cover speaks for itself. Elegant, simple and witty. Genius!
The CSPD (Calgary Society for Persons with Disabilities) is a not for profit organization that provides individualized residential services to persons with disabilities. Placing a single staple in the centre of their annual report creates a simple, yet incredibly powerful metaphor for the struggle that people with disabilities face every day of their lives.
What I love most about this delightful identity is that Interbrand embraced one of the oldest visual clichés ever – a double-O turned into eyes – and made it fresh. Bold, relevant, revelling in both the visual and the verbal: this is how branding should be.
Beautifully crafted idea by Interbrand Sydney for the Sydney Opera House. Sail shaped blends interacting with photography and 3D typography all reference back to the iconic shape of the building. It’s a superb brand language working cohesively with the lovely symbol. So unique and ownable by this particular Opera House. More images and motion graphics can be seen here on Interbrand’s site.

On the cover of this book you can read the word PAIN. When looking at the spine, you see the Spanish flag, immediately recognizing that this is going to be about sPAIN. When initially browsing the book the reader is faced only with blank pages. Once you see that it has been french folded you need to inflict some PAIN on the book to get at the content. On slicing open the Spanish flag you then find the work of photographer Toni Amengual highlighting the Spanish crisis. Bravo for Atlas!!!
