Look what just landed! Issue 8 of the Majedie Journal, complete with a cover image by the talented Luke Stephenson, who we have wanted to work with for a while now. Apparently the Tawny Owl flew away for a while during the shoot but then thought better of it…
Big things are happening down at Port Edgar Marina in South Queensferry on the outskirts of Edinburgh, and we are delighted to have delivered their all-new brand identity, including this super sized application on the side of the main building. The logo gives a nod to the distinctive boat sheds and the tides of the Firth of Forth, while keen-eyed sailors will already have spotted the letters P and E from the maritime alphabet…
We are delighted to have created the identity for Edinburgh International Festival’s Light On The Shore with Edinburgh Gin series at the spectacular Leith Theatre – August is going to be a very enjoyable month indeed! Thanks again to our pals at Hungry Sandwich for the sweet animation skills.
We recently designed the identity and site for our good friend Jackie Westbrook, who is leaving her role as Marketing and Communications Director at Edinburgh international Festival to focus on consultancy work. Thanks for all the coffee and we look forward to collaborating with you on some exciting new projects very soon!
Behold! The first of our work for Edinburgh International Festival 2018. It’s a blink-and-you-probably-won’t-miss-it tote complete with uplifting message and custom dyed-colours. If you weren’t lucky enough to cop one of these at the Festival launch earlier this month, they’ll be available to purchase very soon.
Our brand identity work for Edinburgh bar and restaurant Rabble features in Inspo Finds Collection I, the forthcoming publication from the keen-eyed tastemakers over at Inspo Finds. Thanks again to Naomi and Sarah for including us alongside 364 equally talented creative types. Dropping on 7th February, the book is now available for preorder!
To round up another year working with Scottish Swimming, we recently branded the National Short Course Championships and National Diving Championships at the Royal Commonwealth Pool, here in Edinburgh. Beyond major events like these, we’ve been continuing to support them as they roll out their Learn to Swim programme across the country.
While we aren’t competitive types, it’s nice to get a bit of recognition, so we were delighted to learn that our collaboration with illustrator Aad Goudappel for Majedie Journal issue 6 was selected by the jury as the Merit Winner in the 3×3 Illustration Annual! That’s celebrated mathematician and ‘oddball’ Paul Erdos in case you were wondering.
The switched-on sorts from The Design Kids recently stopped by our studio for a coffee and chat with Chris, who regaled them with tales of his dad’s epic record collection among other things. Judging by the number of prospective applications we get on a daily basis, competition is tougher than ever for recent graduates, so respect to The Design Kids for bridging the gap between students and the industry.
The latest issue of the Majedie Journal just landed back on our desks and it’s a thought-provoking read, if we do say so ourselves! For issue seven, the theme is perspective, so we once again collaborated with lensman extraordinaire Victor Albrow to create a gravity-defying hourglass that encourages the viewer to consider things from an alternative angle.
