Pentagram designed Nonô (the name of the owner) it’s new identity. One of the partners/designers at Pentagram has a house that over looks the beach where Nonô and his […]
Folk New Brand Identity – Endless Combinations
As identity design goes this is quite a radical new logo for Folk. It works like a fruit machine with lots of different combinations, with an ever changing logo as the result. The colours are obviously very in your face, it would seem inspired by pop art and 8 bit video game culture. The design really does set […]
Mighty oaks from little acorns grow – Gumtree rebrand
Initially on seeing this new identity and rebrand for Gumtree it felt very much like an Estate Agents or Forestry Commission.

Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra Logo Design
This work by Bond caught my eye over at logodesignlove a very simple but effective piece of design.

SONOS Identity Design Remixed

As well as this they’ve really got their identity design and branding spot on in my opinion. From the palindrome name, distinctive clean type and strong use of image and colour it all aligns with the […]

So another year comes to a close and BrandNew have published their now traditional ‘The Best and Worst Identities of 2014’ In which (as the name suggests) they highlight the Best and the Worse of Identity design, all in their opinion of course, but they are usually pretty spot on. Overall I agree with most of […]

ITV – new logo design in detail
ITV’s rebrand is one of the better I’ve seen recently. In terms of capturing the right tone and summing up what they offer as a broadcaster, it’s right on the money in my opinion. So this post over at LogoDesignLove which details the process that the design team went through is of great interest. The use […]
