Sam Flaherty is a Sydney based freelance graphic designer and art director with a client roster that has included Citibank, Penguin Publishing and Panasonic. His visual identity, a juxtaposition of machine production and hand-finish – communicated through stamp and marker detail, craft material and personal language alongside modernistic non-hierachical, sans-serif typography, grid-based layouts, conventional print techniques, a limited colour palette and plenty of space – bound together by a contrasting circular logo-type – neatly reflects his belief in ‘clear, concise messages through design elegance and reduction’. It is a design solution that resolves a personal but professional approach through a smart combination of creativity and restraint, an aesthetic that is consistently reflected throughout Sam’s portfolio.

Plow is a Tennessee based customer acquisition service and telecom/energy contractor for the large to mid-size business sector. Their identity, created by multidisciplinary design agency Perky Bros, neatly communicates the experience, professionalism and advisory nature of Plow’s service, the commodities they manage and their renewable energy options through a logo-type built from a stencil cut serif typeface and apostrophe detail set across a stationery solution that utilises an unbleached recycled material choice and a website with a mixed fibre background.
