Beyond stoked to announce that we are nominated for a total of four Scottish Design Awards this year, including our bespoke Height of Arrows bottle for Holyrood Distillery, the brand identity for the super talented DS Architecture and a bespoke, industry leading app for long-time clients Buzzworks Holdings. We’re also shortlisted for Agency of the Year 2025!
We’ve been working with award-winning Scottish craft brewery Pilot to launch their first pub – naming, branding and all. Inspired by maritime exploration, Vessel was born: a name that nods to both adventure and the glasses used to enjoy their beer.
Building on the idea of a vessel as a container, we developed a distinctive visual identity themed around a Rubin vase. This idea of togetherness and conviviality began to shape the wider brand story and has been echoed in the ligature of the Vessel word mark.
Keep your eyes peeled – full case study coming soon…
We’ve been working with The Oxley to develop a slick new identity and website, designed with the future in mind (watch this space!). Yesterday, Dr Janak Bechar and Dr Thomas Kidd officially launched the site, featuring a refined visual language and tone of voice that perfectly capture their professional yet welcoming approach.
A marque, combining the ‘O’ and ‘X’ from ‘Oxley’ to symbolise the client-patient relationship while a modern and distinctive type choice sets them apart, steering clear of clichés. It’s been a pleasure collaborating with Thomas and Janak, and we’re looking forward to what’s next! For now, why not check out their new website?
After a successful rebrand of The Fruitmarket in 2021, complete with a new website, we’ve been busy refining things behind the scenes. Our latest updates focus on better showcasing their breadth of events and extensive archive. It’s been brilliant to continue working with the Fruitmarket, and we love seeing the brand come to life across the city! See our original case study here and explore the latest updates here.
Presenting the brand and website for DS Architecture, the award-winning practice of acclaimed Scottish architect Dugald Skene. Based around a unique and highly-crafted modular logotype, our solution explores the notion of reduction to create a unique acronym: inspired by the forms of light, adaptivity of space, while the website features a minimal and contemporary palette that echoes the simplicity and beauty of the buildings themselves.
We recently relaunched the brand design for Lussa Gin, with a new bottle shape, refreshed label style and an earthier colour palette that reflects the rugged landscape of the Isle of Jura. With a little luck we’ll organise a Touch field trip/tasting adventure in the not too distant future…
Meet Magnus, the well-read Oystercatcher and iconic emblem of book wholesaler Bookspeed. We recently relaunched the Bookspeed brand with a fresh new design direction, more personable tone of voice and delightfully animated digital campaign, and will share a full case study very soon…
We are delighted to share news that that our bespoke bottle for Holyrood Distillery’s Height of Arrows gin has won gold at the IWSC design awards! From the sea glass green colour to the distinctive flask shape, our bottle design reflects Holyrood’s boundary-breaking approach and location in the shadows of Arthur’s Seat. See more in our case study here.
It’s been a minute but International Assembly Design and Creative Festival is back IRL this December and we’ll be mentoring participants in the 2 day Live Project. We can’t wait to catch up with everyone!
Having come up with the name, brand identity and bottle design for Stornoway Distillers’ Landfall, we are excited to share news that the recently launched Scottish Coastal Gin is up for a total of three awards at the forthcoming Scottish Gin Awards. Best of luck to Gez and Nat at Stornoway Distillers!
