Step in the guys from For The People and their experience in knowing when you have just the right combination. The strong and distinctive tone of voice really raises this startup web and mobile platform from just another online […]
Touching an English Football teams crest is often seen as somewhat of a poisoned chalice, but this hasn’t deterred the talented folk of Someone. Even more risky is the fact that the football club in question (my beloved Aston Villa) are about to be relegated out of the lucrative English Premier League, so winning over the clubs fans had never been as important. Bravery, valour, and strength have been at the Clubs heart throughout it’s […]
Therapy used to be thought of some what of a dirty word, talked about in whispers and in secret. Gone are the days and in with a bold typographical dance that aims to reflect the various emotional ‘mind’ states. The use of humor and happy faces within logos seems to be a bit of a slow trend starting to spread, but that said, the simple use and playfulness of the single letter forms is a […]
When you see something so simple, you think how have I not seen this before and more importantly, why didn’t I come up with it. Helsinki’s finest Bond have a knack of producing stunningly simple executions that are anything but and with Coffee & Co. they’ve done it again.

Spearheading this fresh approach is UK based company Hello Student, who design, build and manage homes for students. Their mission is to make […]
There’s no doubt that Jørn Utzon’s distinct forms created an architectural icon that is the Sydney Opera House, so it is little wonder that the new SOH branding pays homage to its very surroundings. More interestingly the guys at Interbrand Sydney and Collider have dug deep and delivered an identity system that feels like it reveals the inner working of the building from how it was physically constructed to celebrating those forms you pass everyday […]
Driven by a rich, rustic illustrative style the farm-to-table restaurant Agricola branding speaks of artisan ways and love of the finest produce. Mucca has taken care to step away from the trending cliches which have flooded the hospitality sector thanks to the love of the ‘markers’ out there packaged delightfully for the ‘hipster’ foodies. The typography is distinctive with both a foot in the past, acknowledging the values of the restaurant but by still maintaining […]
