Amazing identity for FEB design. You have to admire such simple work that makes this much of an impact. Via
Torotoro branding
Loving the branding work for Torotoro, a Japanese restaurant designed by design agency Savvy. Whilst analyzing the Japanese restaurant market in the area, Savvy realized that the vast majority of restaurants brand themselves through oriental clichés, often mixing Asian cultures without realizing it.
Bionic Systems
Bionic Systems are an amazing multi-disciplinary studio based in Düsseldorf, Germany. To say their portfolio is vast is an understatement. It will take you a while to look around but it’s well worth it.

Clusta Branding Guidelines
Clusta’s Branding Guidelines look rather sexy. Hopefully they will have their new site up soon.
Fluid-Update
Birmingham based Fluid finally have a new website that matches up to their super work. I’m particularly impressed with the body of work produced for Andaz 1901 and their rather dark work on Fear 2 for Warner Bros Interactive. View the site in full screen mode for maximum impact. Also go check out their shiny...
Zoot
Zoot based in Oslo has a really wide range of work in their portfilo. Along side the norm, I was very impressed with their “What we do” section. Most studio/agency sites have this but I was very impressed by how Zoot break it down into small bite size pieces and really get under the skin...

The super sexy time work of GraphicalHouse in Glasgow. Simple, refined and quite frankly a delight to look at.

This seasonal refresh of the identity adds flexibility and means that the look of the stores is updated at regular intervals, without...
Logo fume
I don’t have time to post much today other than a couple of really interesting links. As of late I have noticed a trend of logo hate aimed at bigger brands all following the styles of one another like sheep. Whether you agree of disagree both of the following articles are worth a look. First...
Peter and Paul
I love this identity made by Peter and Paul for Jefferson Sheard Architects. Its wonderfully simple and works on so many different levels. I love the clear orange plastic they have employed to let people create their own vision of the logo in 3d.

His work is understated, clean, sometimes conceptual and very minimal. Check the rest of his site for more work. I simply love...
Cretive Review uber re-brand
This made me laugh. Just what I needed with my coffee on a Cold Monday morning! Creative reviews unique “Marble” orb. sphere glass thing is sureley a hot contender for Identity 2008. Can wait to see the identity guidlines. They might read something like this: “The “Marbles” strengths lie in it’s ability to bypass any...
Similar but different…
After looking at the London Design Medal for a while I realised how similar it is to the ghastly cover of Pendulum’s -Propane Nightmares that I’ve had the misfortune to see on many billboards. I love the medal but that cover…

Domenic Lippa of Pentagram, and his team have created the identity for London Design Festival.
