Let’s Grow Canada by Caserne, 2026

Let’s Grow Canada is an initiative to ‘build a stronger and more sustainable food future for both the country and the world’. With tensions building around natural resources, food stability and tariffing it’s no wonder we’re seeing these kinds of things growing in prominence and necessity. Despite positioning themselves as being concerned with global issues, the maple leaf is unambiguously...

‘I am the walrus’: Anatomy’s charming new identity for the Horniman Museum

I struggle to think of a subculture I detest quite as viscerally and deeply as steampunks: not only is it aesthetically quite hideous, I just don’t really get it – it’s the past! But the future! But very dusty and everyone’s a creep! Inexplicably wearing goggles! It all smacks of a man in the corner of your front room at...

Thonik’s identity for Orkest Phion gives the symphony orchestra a brand that’s as ever-changing and itinerant as its programme

Kinisla by RichardsDee, 2026

Look, as well as running BP&O I also manage LogoArchive, so I’ve seen a lot of logos, and quite a few that have depicted natural phenomena; the sun, the sea and mountains. These are enduring motifs for travel, leisure, agriculture and, of course, whatever nature-ruining corporation that wants to position itself as seemingly ‘green’. Anyway, the point is, that they’re...

Mouthwash Studio’s identity for eyewear brand Bonnie Clyde might be confusing, and infuriatingly historically inaccurate – but it’s ultimately rather lovely

This is an identity that’s not very easy to instantly get your head around – arguably, at a glance, it’s downright confusing. Sometimes it comes on strong all antiquey – like the branding equivalent of once-beloved UK high-street also-ran Past Times – at others, it’s all Trewley Precious lash brand partnership, all hearts and dusky pink and half-arsed girly girly...

Studio Blackburn’s new identity for folding bike icon Brompton cements the brand’s place in British engineering heritage

Pretty much the one and only memorable brand name when it comes to bikes you can fold up and carry around, Brompton – as its thoroughly British name might suggest – was founded in England in 1975 by engineer Andrew Ritchie, who developed the first prototype in his West London flat. The original Brompton bike design specifically looked to tackle...

Perky Bros puts restrained Southern hospitality before shouty branding in its identity for Tennessee resort Southall

Branding parlance often deifies qualities like ‘boldness’ – being ‘brave’, ‘zigging when others zag’, ‘disruption,’ and so on and so forth. Some projects, however, demand and deserve the absolute opposite; the sign of a good designer, perhaps, is to intuitively know which one is which. This is one such project. Southall is resort set across 325 acres just outside Franklin,...
