Recently @logoarchive put a call out asking designers to share some favourite logo marks, contributing to the ‘world’s largest logo book’.

A logo mark isn’t always needed, but when done well it can become a powerful part of a brand’s identity.

I’ve always loved the challenge of creating a symbol — taking the story, strategy and personality behind a brand and distilling it down into something ridiculously simple.

The best marks are never just decoration.They hold meaning.They create recognition.And hopefully… they stick around.

A few favs from my archive here spanning 26 years. All created as part of broader brand identity projects — a little more of the thinking behind each can be found over on the Chops site. Which one is your favourite from this selection?

I’m absolutely thrilled to now be in a position to share a wonderful project with @thefreedfromcompany I’ve been working hard on for the last 4 months!

This is the Hotel Dry Mini Bar Selection! 

With 12 of the world’s best and most delicious #nonalcoholic spirits and elixirs. Curated to be part of #madethegrade selection. Decided by some of the world’s most renowned sommeliers. All packaged in a luxurious presentation case!

Over the coming weeks I’ll share some behind the scenes insights into how I created this experiential drinks display , the materials and processes used to build it and some inspiration behind the design. 

It is way more than just a box! It is an experience!! An exciting new #alternativetoalcohol 

I made this!! 

In conjunction with @chopsfortea and I can’t wait for you try it out!!

Coming soon to your favourite 5 star hotel!!

Brand Personality — Young, Vessels & Objects

One of my favourite projects from late last year. Sydney-based ceramicist Emma Young creates beautifully textural vessels & objects — tactile pieces that feel both ancient and strangely contemporary at the same time. Every work carries its own quirks and character, so the identity needed to reflect that same sense of individuality, restraint and quiet confidence.

The typography became a huge part of the personality. A distinctive vertically stacked ‘YOUNG’ mark sits alongside the cleaner, more refined Vessels + Objects type treatment — creating this really nice tension between sculptural boldness and gallery-like sophistication. 

Tall, grounded and slightly unconventional in all the right ways. The type almost behaves like one of Emma’s vessels itself. Such a delightful client. Please go and check out Emma’s work @youngvesselsandobjects taken in Dja Dja Wurrung Country by @chopsfortea

Possibly a world first (and last) — whatever it was, it was certainly fun. Thanks again to the impressive @lesliekeiththornton (sir), to Dame Tracey Naughton and to you my friends and members of the public that sat, listened  and endured me ramble on about drying dishes for 20 minutes. Who knew… taken in Dja Dja Wurrung Country by @chopsfortea

There’ll be bubbles. There’ll be drying. There may be greatness, you may partake.

Mostly recommended. No guarantees.

I STAND UP. Do you?

It’s been a while since I shared some early development work for this project. Sharing a snippet now of what will be a national Australian campaign for @voiceofchangeau 

— I feel privileged to be able to help their cause for ending domestic and family violence. 

Give them a follow and learn how you can make a difference. Be The Change. by @chopsfortea

It’s been a very productive week at the studio. Can’t wait to share. For now, a fun ‘little’ project with a very big message. More to follow. I’m curious to know which colourway you like, without giving you too much. Other than this will be part of a national campaign in Australia. Thanks team. 

Use the vote slip or let me know your thoughts in the comments. 😃
