Looking back at 15 years of @swarmstudios.chc - we developed a visual identity for this community of urban creatives which wasn’t about a logo or adhering to a strict brand guideline, but about capturing the energy and movement in a visual style that evolved constantly.

The original logo for Moorhouse Dance Studio - set in modified Futura

Experimenting with 3D texts (this was before the ai era 😤 when we had to actually paint and adjust gradients manually, not tell ChatGPT what to spit out)

Though much of @thedeepseries was done on Clip Studio Pro on the iPad, a significant chunk of Deep Black, book two, was done with ink on paper. To achieve the confidence and rhythm needed to produce pages after pages of art, I did a lot of study and experiments. This was one of them. 

Ink on paper (or any traditional art form) is good for the soul.

What is the most English font??

Gill Sans (or its original Johnston) is so English that allusions to it can still be seen on the hand painted signs of Indian Railways carriages all the way in India. Funnily enough they are starting to move away from this as you won’t see any Gill Sans on the English football team kit this year at the World Cup - nor on most British government branding today. But it’s safe to say, Gill Sans still remains the most English font ever.

Subaru logo = Matariki stars??

This week New Zealand celebrates Matariki, the Mãori New Year; marked by the pre-dawn reappearance of the Pleiades star cluster - a time to remember the past, celebrate the present, and look ahead. And a good chance to do a commentary on this unique logo inspired by those same stars.

If you live in New Zealand you know that yellow means @paknsave — that’s when you know a brand has a strong presence.

Love it when a story is told in a way that flips expectations. Arrival is also a masterclass in production design, the way it invents a distinct atmosphere and mood that doesn’t borrow from known sci-fi tropes. One of my favs.

Not sure if corporate presentation or sci-fi book cover… 

What are your thoughts?
