Arconvert, a division of the Fedrigoni Group, will be hosting Label Lab, The Forum for Label and Packaging Innovation, on May 17th at Priory Church on St. John’s Square, London. The event will celebrate the aesthetics and craftsmanship of labelling and packaging design, and will showcase the materials of Fedrigoni’s labelling division Arconvert has to offer. The evening will also include talks by Pablo Martín of Atlas, Andy Giddings from Here Design, and Xavier Bas from Xavier Bas Disseny.
Design studio TM worked with Arconvert to pull together speakers and deliver a visual identity for Label Lab. This included an invitation that pushes the material component of the event, but also emphasises its relationship and interaction with type, colour and form in branding and packaging. These graphical elements then function to establish a distinctive and memorable continuity between invitation, programme and event website.

Sydney Dyslexia intends to challenge the misconception that dyslexia is a learning disability, and instead, move the conversation forward, to more appropriately address it as a learning difference. Sydlexia is an innovative and pioneering platform, created by Sydney Dyslexia, to help aid this change, and offers new techniques and training methods to help facilitate “dyslexia correction”.
Dyslexia is the most common learning disorder. It affects 1 in 10 people worldwide. It is indifferent, and its challenges are felt by those from all walks of life. Sydlexia worked with BBDO Dubai on brand identity and its first campaign with the intention of engaging a diverse group of people.
Taking their cues from the universal notion of dyslexia as a learning difference that breaks up and rearranges letters and words, BBDO finds a convivial, modern and universal expression that draws a lot of visual and cognitive equity from simple typographical play, the fracturing of words and the process of their reconstruction.

Quad opened in 1972 and was New York’s first multi-screen cinema. Since then its four screens have been dedicated to playing a diverse programme of independent, classic and first-run films. To coincide with its contemporary state-of-the-art refurbishment, completed earlier this year, Quad’s new owner Charles S. Cohen and his independent film production and distribution company Cohen Media Group worked with Pentagram partner Paula Scher and her team on brand identity. This included logo and custom typography, environmental graphics, signage and digital installations informed by the visual language of cinema.
