UCL by Johnson Banks, 2026
UCL’s iconic ‘portico’ facade had been rendered so small in a previous iteration it often got lost. Johnson Banks took this and reimagined it, scaling it up and exploring how light and shadow played across its pillars. These pillars, given a transitional effect through their different weighting, has introduced a contrasting secondary element, a dynamic forward motion applied to a...
Gaming Goes Goblin-mode
Remember the heady days of 2022, as we emerged blinking into the light in a cautious post-pandemic haze – confused, slightly heavier, wondering whether we should cancel Disney+ now that going out was sort-of-possible? It was then that The Oxford Languages Word of the Year (well, two words if we’re being pedantic, which is surely an approach the famous dictionary-pedlars...

Mix and Match
Ten or so years ago I’d wager that most of us hadn’t even heard of padel, but the tennis-adjacent pursuit has boomed in recent years: there’s reportedly a whopping 30 million padel players worldwide, as of stats from late 2024.

Dating Apps Go Full Cerca
It wasn’t too long ago that we were deluged by think pieces bemoaning the state of dating apps; detailing their fall-from-favour in data that showed in cold hard numbers that their popularity had long since boomed. The swipe-laden online dating world, it seems, was drastically waning. All sorts of theories flew around: maybe Gen Z – frequently (bafflingly, implausibly) lauded...

HotDog by SMLXL
From the moment I turned the sound up (as per instructions) on the ‘about’ page of the HotDog website, safe to say I was obsessed with this brand and its branding. It’s laugh out loud hilarious – I truly loled, as did the person I was sharing a room with, and as I’m sure anyone within eye- or ear-shot would...

Bedrock by Studio Everywhere, 2026
Bedrock develops autonomous vehicles for construction. To think this was science fiction not long ago is mad. Bedrock worked with Studio Everywhere to develop a visual identity for the company. This also included the design of a logo. And it’s got it all. Caterpillar tracks, a sense of excavation within the negative space, building up in the positive, and sense...

Getty by Fred & Farid New York, 2026
As Getty has evolved, its existing identity no longer fully reflected the breadth of its work–art, research, conservation and philanthropy–or the diverse audiences it serves. The institution set out to create a visual identity that could better represent the many interconnected parts of Getty and deliver a sense of movement, energy and life. Getty worked with Fred & Farid New...
