Northzone is an early stage venture capital fund with the insight necessary to cut through the hype of funding and recognise strong teams doing good work. From their offices in London, Stockholm and New York they partner with founders at Seed, Series A and Series B stage across Europe and America. London-based Ragged Edge worked with Northzone to create a brand identity that would put founders before figures, and position boutique venture as the aspirational choice. Based around truth over hype and character over the size of an investment opportunity, Ragged Edge developed a visual language that evokes that of the editorial. This manifests itself through a bold logotype/masthead, dynamic layouts informed by stories, and an intelligible tone of voice. This links mobile and desktop digital experiences and printed surfaces such as business cards, newsprint, posters, book and invitations.

In The London Borough of Southwark sits the Grade II listed building and former headquarters of the London Fire Brigade, the city’s first fire station and a site currently under development. This will see it transformed into residential apartments with period conversations of the original Victorian building alongside a modern new-build. It is a one-of-kind property development that offers a unique intersection of historic and contemporary city living. London-based Jack Renwick Studio (JRS) were commissioned to develop the name, visual identity and communications for this new development, and were challenged with the task of appealing to both local and international markets.
Under the concept “Traditionally Different”, JRS developed the name Brigade Court and a visual language of juxtapositions. These celebrate the distinctive contrasts that exist throughout the property. These juxtapositions move between the elegant and sophisticated materiality of the brochures, the intersection of modern and historic images, and then towards moments of playfulness throughout the property’s marketing suite, which also features a deli and cafe. The visual identity links a variety of different touch-points, from property and floor-plan brochures to custom framed photo-montages, coffee cups, menus and window decals.

Atop of Croatia’s Istria peninsula, just where the land slips into the Adriatic sea sits the tiny small-batch gin distillery of Monachus. Stone shores, botanical covered hillsides, the smell of pine and scattered pin cones characterises the landscape. Drawing on this, the natural history of Istria and the name Monachus, borrowed from Monachus Monachus an endangered Mediterranean monk seal, Swedish design studio Bedow created a visual identity and labelling for the distillery.
