Uber logo and branding receives a nip, tuck and refinement
New year and a new look for the Uber logo. Their main logo receives a nick and tuck, with spacing reduced, letters thickened and refined. Bringing the letters closer together and thickening them up makes complete sense, it means it’s more easily read and identified at smaller sizes. “The first thing you’ll notice is that our […]
A Typeface That Changes Like a Memory
A very interesting project caught my eye this week. The concept of memory and how it’s not a solid thing but more of a shifting fluid idea overtime. This idea has been reflected in a new typeface created by designers Ryan Bugden and Michelle Wainer. Called ‘Memoire’ the typeface changes during use, so slightly different variations can be used […]
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 […]
New Logo Design and Identity for thyssenkrupp
When two companies merge sometimes the resulting new logo design can be somewhat difficult. Dixon Carphone anyone? I’m guessing that in many cases trying to marry up design styles and keep both clients happy that there’s an equal balance, which can be tricky. The new logo for thyssenkrupp had to merge Thyssen with Krupp. From viewing their previous […]

This just illustrates the scale of the universe that we know of, which could just be the tip of the iceberg. A fascinating project which really does show how (as […]
Google X Has a New Logo
Is it just me or does ‘Google X’ sound like a replacement for Spectre, or some another top secret evil corp set to take over the world? Maybe that’s why ‘Google X’ is now just ‘X’, although it sounds more evil and megalomaniacal doesn’t it? Just me? Anyway they have a new name and a shiny […]

3D Printed Inception Table
From one of the more memorable dream scenes from Director Christoper Nolan’s film ‘Inception’ this table recreates the bending of a city block. Completely bonkers concept and fully realised via the medium of 3D printing. I wouldn’t like to be the one who has to dust or clean this but a fantastic piece all the […]
Best logo redesigns of 2015
As high-profile logo and identity design goes, 2015 was a mixed year. There were some big successes with a further increase in ‘flat’ and simplified logos such like Google and Netflix leading the pack. The minimalist stripped down look is definitely here to stay with no doubt more appearing over the coming year.
