Cooke Curtis & Co. is an award-winning estate agent with an office in Cambridge, United Kingdom. It has a portfolio and a thorough understanding of properties throughout the city and in neighbouring villages. Although the business was established last year, its founders have over thirty-five years of industry experience.
Local graphic design studio The District were commissioned by the estate agent to develop a visual identity that would work across a broad range of printed and digital media, from business cards, letterheads, brochure and website to ‘for sale’ signs, vehicle graphics and key rings.
With the intention of delivering a distinctive and impactful solution sensitive to the heritage of the founders, and the will to cut through the hyperbole of the industry, The District took a bold typographic approach that discards photography in favour of a monolinear geometric sans-serif and underlines, emphasised by a black and white colour palette.

Lune Croissanterie is a Melbourne based bakery dedicated to the craft of Viennoiserie. After gaining a cult following and amassing long cues it quickly outgrew its small shop and moved into a larger warehouse space in the suburb of Fitzroy which features a distinctive interior design by Studio Esteta. To coincide with this move, Lune Croissanterie worked with the Australian graphic design studio A Friend Of Mine to develop a new brand identity. This takes the name, space theme and rocket of the previous identity and refines and expands on it with a few extra playful details. These link packaging, signage, interior and website.
