These are the five projects I reviewed during March that I felt really stood out and wanted to give them another opportunity to be seen and shared. I have ordered these from five to one with my favourite project presented last. Do you agree with my choices?
Logo and Branding: Gomez

Multidisciplinary design agency Savvy have just completed the identity and collateral design for Gomez, a San Pedro-based bar ‘where you can hear good music and drink well’. The bar’s visual language, a ‘reconciliation of the traditional and avant-garde’, delivers a youthful, friendly and expressive brand personality through quirky vector illustration, the contemporary art and craft sensibilities of a striking electric blue colour palette and tinted images, paper texture, plastics, light, uncoated wood and heat treatments. Alongside the more retrospective tone of serif and italic typefaces, the diamond structure of the pattern work, the ribbon of the logo and black and white portrait photography. The result feels intentionally ‘silly’ yet is appropriately underpinned by a professional, experienced coherency that conveys quality.

Their visual identity, a reverse, uppercase italic logo-type with a consistent line weight, humanistic sans-serif detail, decent spacing and neat parallel diagonal strokes. Now features across a new stationery set that, through a really nice combination of weighty, warm and cold grey, uncoated material choices with a contrasting, high quality, gloss black foil print treatment, large point size and plenty of space, deliver an urban and subtle craft backdrop to the confident consistency and slightly unconventional qualities of the type.
