Ginori 1735 by AUGE
Florentine design studio AUGE has created a sumptuous range of packaging for Italian luxury homeware brand Ginori, which was founded in 1735 as the Manifattura di Doccia by Marquis Carlo Ginori on the grounds of his villa at Doccia. Nearly three hundred years later, the venerable brand finds itself owned by Gucci, following a merger with Società Richard (and subsequent...
Toundra by LG2
There’s always something intriguing about niche, singular companies, stores and brands. When I was growing up, I distinctly remember a shop that sold only various things made out of wicker, for instance. It both intrigued and baffled me then, before I understood the concept of a ‘front’, a la (or so rumour has it) the numerous shops that once lined...

Pamipe by Omni Design
In recent years we’ve seen some radical shifts to the ever-booming pet care sector. That’s thanks in no small part to the Covid 19 lockdowns that saw many of us seeking solace and company in domestic animals, taking advantage of the WFH policies that, once upon a time, felt endless and unwavering. Another catalyst, perhaps, is that in an increasingly...

Zelman Meats by Sam Lachlan, 2018
Zelman Meats describes itself as being the best steak sharing restaurant in London. A bold claim, but the reviews have been rolling in supporting this. Matching these great reviews is a great logo, designed by Sam Lachlan. Sure, liberties are taken on the steak knife silhouette, but this is more than made up for by the discovery of the Z...

Barnardo’s by The Clearing
Barnardo’s is the UK’s largest children’s charity, and it undoubtedly does much good in the world. However, its history up to this point is also littered with uncomfortable controversies. Certainly, the most outlandish transgressions are concentrated in the late-19th and early-20th centuries. Founder Thomas John Barnardo was taken to court 88 times for kidnapping children (or ‘philanthropic abductions’, as old...
Qasa by Bold
Now that the likes of ed-tech (education technology) and fin-tech (financial technology) have become a natural part of everyday parlance, it was surely only a matter of time before prop-tech (property technology) entered the equation, too. Proptech largely refers to platforms and services that use tech to help people buy, sell, research, market, and manage a property – ranging from...

Voiceflow by Focus Lab, 2024
Voiceflow finds itself amongst the many new AI tools out in the world, and allows product teams to build business critical AI agents. So far, Voiceflow is the only conversational AI platform to do this. This ‘flow’ and ‘flexibility’ is embedded in an almost three dimensional waveform motif, inspired by the Slinky toy. Focus Lab furthers this, saying this it...
Antara 128 by Mucho
GT Alpina is described by type foundry and BP&O regular GrilliType as a workhorse serif that also delights in playing with the very meaning of concept, reaching into the ‘grab bag of typographic history to resurrect shapes some may falsely see as too expressive’. This feels an apt description for Antara 128, and the visual identity created by Mucho that...

Jiberish by Study Hall, 2024
Tree and arrow-like with upward movement, with the suggestion of mountains and ski jumps. This is how Study Hall describe their logo for Jiberish, a company that have carved out a space in the ski industry, ‘amplifying Rocky Mountain Culture through the language of streetwear’. As part of an effort to align the brand with its current purpose the logo...
