The re-opening of a legend

Once a famous hangout of the swinging 60’s in London. The Scotch of St James has been remade and reopened to create a few more stories like the one when Jimi Hendrix played his first UK gig there.

The famous Tartan interiors and stags head and swords that once adorned the walls are back in place in the beautifully design space. These are represented in the new logotype we created for them. The classic request of a traditionally modern logo we kept the crest by the books and mixed it up with the modern Scotch typography beneath.

Recycling and Waste Management Exhibition Rebrand

Some may argue that dealing with waste management but somebody’s got to do it. The Recycling and Waste Management Show was merging with their biggest competitor to deliver the best of both their offerings.

Pitching against some of the big boys in Marketing and design, we beat them with a strategic answer that embraced the 100+ years of history of the show and brought them into the 21st Century. using recycled papers (of course) and reorganising the large amounts of information to appear with the mark with a consistent typographic style.

Jeff Beck – Emotion and Commotion

Jeff Beck, continued to ignore the mainstream and push boundaries as his first album in seven years “Emotion & Commotion” added two more Grammy’s to his collection.

The original concept was born from an email from Jeff himself with an attached picture of a colourful bird perched on a spoon. His thought of “something like this but with an eagle and a strat” was admitted to be “a bit tacky but effective”, and left me thinking quite simply, ‘How the hell am I going to make this work?’ So we embraced it and set out to create a design that was as dramatic and iconic as Jeff himself. The powerful bald eagle clutching his weapon of choice and looking like something out of the 70’s it got people talking – some loving it, some hating it. My favourite comment being ‘It would look great spray painted on the ass of my leather pants.”

 

Were in Los Logos again

We are absolutely chuffed to report that our identity for Wecredo has been selected for publishing in Die Gestalten’s publication “Los Logos 6” This identity represents an online community of artists which is still being worked on right now so I cant tell you any more but here’s what it looks like at least. Art being so diverse, no one logo can sum up this global community without leaving someone out. So we developed a logo the flicks it’s paint at stuffy style guidelines and lets the members of the community do with it as they please to create a new masterpiece (or master logo should I say) everytime. 

Sportsmax

Northern Iron

We collaborated with our friends at The Hatchery to come up with this little number.

A Norwegian exploration company needed an identity to look the part in their quest to float on the stock market. Based on the North Star, and their national flag, Northern Iron exudes a strong confident attitude, proud of it roots. The publication Los Logos 4 didn’t mind it either.

Los logos 4 – 3 logos make the cut for Cousins Design

We are chuffed to have 3 of our logos included in Die Gestalten’s publication Los Logos 4.

This one a team effort with Egg Design Group in Perth who allowed us to submit on their behalf.

Dig Deep – Mining For Charity

On a trip to Australia, we did a bit of work with renowned branding and design firm Egg Design Group.

For this particular project, a Mining Chairman’s boy was the inspiration for helping young kids in need. This charity provided a platform for the Mining community give back a bit with fund-raisers organised throughout the year in aid of the kids. A simple concept where the medium dictated how deep our little miner digs.

This was another logo we were proud to have published in Los Logos 4.
