I’m pleased to confirm that Studio is going to be featured in the next issue of Slanted magazine.
It was during the Lockdown that I had responded to their call for submission for an issue dedicated to the theme of Co-exist. It was an interesting brief as it was aiming to look beyond the pandemic to a society which could be more thoughtful as a result of this (ever) challenging year.
My design explored the idea of Trust.
Logo Archive International delivered its first online event last week, introducing the team behind the Logo Archive GB account and sharing current discoveries and research.
Featuring four speakers, the event included Logo Archive founder Richard Baird and my colleagues Naomi Brown and Graham Burrows. We enjoyed getting to grips with the Zoom platform to deliver diverse and informative presentations.
Naomi profiled the famous transport identity and communication work of Margret Calvert and Graham explored the logo evolution of chemical industry company ICI.
My presentation featured the logos of British Steel and Granada Television and the turning points which inspired their creation. I also expanded on the story of British designer Barney Bubbles whose Blockhead logo had been featured in recent weeks at Logo Archive GB. I concluded with a rarely seen logo designed by Peter Saville and Brett Wickens in 1999.
Logo Archive International is proving to be a valuable resource for design education and industry with inspirational work being posted throughout the week on Instagram. And these free events are a perfect way to get to know each account team and hear more about both famous and unknown logos. Start here.
