After the scientific successes of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (and its blessed failure to create any world-destroying black holes), the research organisation has an even greater need for speed. The team of scientists over in Geneva has been illuminating the nature of our universe since 2009: accelerating and smashing particles together, then snatching glimpses of their tiny collisions. Their appetite...
Big C Charters is a premier charter service located in the San Francisco Bay Area, offering hands-on fishing trips and excursions. The company gets its name from Christian Cavanaugh, captain, founder and former professional basketball player. With a growing fanbase and fleet, Mucho was commissioned to create a new logo, colour palette and custom typeface for the brand, as well...
Citreon returns to the past, drawing on its heritage to position itself better for the future. No surprises in terms of strategy, they’re all doing it, but practically it makes sense. The limitations of the past (reproducibility in both print and in cast metal) may have changed, however, when brands expect their logos to light up on their electric cars...
How many coffee logos have you seen? And how many can you remember? Attribution is incredibly difficult, especially in a market that is competitive and creative. How do you move that great coffee experience and expectation between franchises or on to products. In terms of logos too much and it’s difficult to recall, too little and it’s generic. A way...
The name sets the brand up to be a bit of an oddity in the luxury perfume market, and the logo delivers on this too, moulding a ‘P’ into the profile of a head. Its proportions caricature-like and its geometry formal. Underline Studio have created something that is certainly memorable, in the spirit of mid-century modernist design but with an...

It’s a ‘B’ and an ‘L’. A simple monogram for Baseline that expresses, with immediacy, that sense of a urban skyline, floor plans and frameworks. It works well as a static form but gains more as it is functions as a brand building block in which to construct a multiplicity of visual elements. These, however, are not literally buildings, more...

It’s rare that an art book comes with a personal story. As we ease ourselves into this new strand of the Voices column and as we begin to get to know each other, let me share one with you. I first discovered ARTIST | WORK | LISSON on a shelf in the office at Whitechapel Gallery and thought it was...
It’s amazing to see what can be done with just a few simple geometric forms. Two circles and an oval and the mind is immediately drawn to a wide-mouthed frog. A bright green and simple motion cues online further the frog-like playful and distinctive nature of the mark. Whether you also see a film camera will be up to you,...
