MadeByShape undertook a comprehensive branding project for Natterjack to craft a vibrant and distinctive identity that resonates with the target audience. The collaboration focused on developing a fresh logo, typography, a dynamic colour palette, and an engaging website design that captures the spirit of Natterjack’s innovative approach to its market. This creative overhaul not only enhanced Natterjack’s visual and digital presence but also strategically positioned the brand for growth and greater market engagement.

In 2023, Maven Creative launched a cocktail book as a nod to their client projects. With a bartender’s expertise, they’ve devised custom cocktails to mirror each client’s brand. The project involved 13 photoshoots across various settings, using an array of props to visually represent each cocktail’s theme.

Farmacia by Nguyen Gobber and Laminat by PFA Typefaces were used for the titles and Basis Grotesque by Colophon for all further running text.

This children's book was designed to accompany the Louvre exhibition Les Choses. Une histoire de la nature morte (“Things. A History of Still Life”) in 2022 and features Self Modern by Lucas Le Bihan for titles, text set in Fraunces from Undercase Type and highlights in Indian Type Foundry’s Quilon.

Showcasing a selection of works featured in the exhibition, it underlines art permanent inspiration in life and human preoccupations (such as life, death, beliefs, science, nature...).

Alongside each work are anecdotes, quotes or philosophical concepts putting it in perspective with the world we live in. Some pages even feature activities, playfully inviting readers to look more closely.

It was co-published by Éditions Courtes et Longues and Louvre éditions.

Magazine G is a magazine that aims for knowledge, insight and inspiration beyond boundaries. It is designed by Korean studio Everyday Practice.

The big letter g on the cover is from Voyage. Titles and body copy are set in ABC Maxi Round from Dinamo. The font used for Korean body copy is unidentified.

From the design studio’s website:

Magazine G features writers and researchers from various fields, including literature, history, philosophy, psychology, social studies, science, religion, and engineering, showing insights that fit each topic in various ways, including essays, novels, and cartoons. The theme of Magazine G Vol.4 is “Can We Start Again?” and contains a variety of thoughts and senses, focusing on the topics of “New Beginning” and “Unstoppable Change” as the wave of big changes continues in the aftermath of COVID-19.

Everyday Practice tried to visualize the keyword “new beginning” with the rather wild imagination of a “cat who went to the beauty salon” who is looking forward to a new hairstyle. Sometimes, a different future than expected awaits us, but we wanted to talk through this cover that the imagination of dreaming of change becomes the driving force behind our daily lives. In addition, various texts that make up the magazine were delivered to readers in a more intuitive way through layouts, colors, and various forms of typography suitable for each manuscript.

In 2022, Shauna Buckley of Other Office designed the fourth issue of Hot Potato magazine, a bi-annual publication created by Naoise O'Keeffe.

Aimee Mclaughlin from Creative Review describes it as "the newspaper for people who don't read news," emphasizing its unique approach to current affairs, resembling more of a fashion magazine. The magazine, established in 2019 as a "new newspaper," incorporates elements of photography and fashion to captivate those in these industries.

Monorail Music is a Glasgow based record shop focused on independent music. They work in close collaboration with graphic designer Musheto Fernandez for their visual communication.

They described themselves as follow:

Monorail Music opened in December 2002 after a sometimes epic three year long journey in search of a location and a way to make it all work. Glasgow then was a vibrant music city with something important missing, a great record shop, which we optimistically felt that we could provide. Operating from modest premises in a former Mexican restaurant, we’ve tried our best to provide the kind of record shop that we would like to visit on our travels. […]

Our first priority was obviously our shop, the 3D space, and making that work, but for a while it’s felt that we’ve got that down and that we’re ready to turn our attention to our website. At the moment it’s going to be impossible for us to represent online everything we’ve got going on in the shop. So we’re going to prioritise some of the new releases and reissues that we love, the music that we’re most closely connected with (groups, labels, projects) and other key Monorail items. In other words, independent, focused and friendly, like we’ve always tried to be.

When you close your eyes and think of Paris, three things will come to your mind immediately: the Eiffel Tower, madeleines, and upright cursive handwriting. We will show all three of them in this post.

Flour, powdered sugar, eggs, butter, and lemon zest are the basic ingredients for a madeleine. In France’s everyday life the madeleine is popular to accompany the morning coffee, but even more so for short breaks in the afternoon, for example the goûter children earn upon leaving school mid-afternoon.

A beacon of French pastry, many stories hover around these sponge cakes, from their scallop shape linking them to the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, via a Polish king exiled in Lorraine who might have called these cakes madeleine in honor of his servant, to Marcel Proust’s seminal In Search of Lost Time where the dipping of a madeleine into tea ignites involuntary remembrance of childhood days.

Spread from the brand manual

The reference to the first name of its presumable inventor is paralleled in the name of the business portrayed here: Mado à Paris draws its title from the nickname of the owner’s beloved aunt Madeleine who passed her love for madeleines on to her niece. Promising to serve “the best madeleine of Paris”, the boutique-restaurant is placed in the very center of the city, just across the Tuileries Garden and – no joke – in direct vicinity of the Madeleine Quarter.

The art director responsible for the visual identity of Mado à Paris is Bastien Bouvier. He chose yellow as the principal color, evoking both eggs and lemon. The recurring illustration of a scallop-shaped madeleine is the second element of the design. What most coins the visual identity, though, is the lettering “Mado à Paris” in an upright cursive script. It is set from the typeface Enfantine. Designed by Jean-Baptiste Levée, it’s available from Production Type. Enfantine is complemented by the geometric sans-serif Maax, designed by Damien Gautier and published at 205TF.

Enfantine is an intriguing typeface. On one hand, it combines script-like lowercase characters with “normal” capital letters which allows for all-caps typesetting. Secondly, it is cursive but upright – which might seem unusual to many but is perfectly common for French people: in their handwriting tradition the Ronde calligraphic style played an eminent role deep into the 20th century, largely influencing school scripts. You can see a typographic reflection of this style in Typo Upright, which is a variation of the tellingly named French Script. And to conclude with, the whole concept plus the monolinearity of the stroke clearly roots Enfantine in the 21st century.

All of the above makes Enfantine an excellent choice for this project: it alludes to the afternoon goûter, it conveys French tradition, but it also embodies innovation just as much as Mado à Paris in the field of madeleine bakery.

Inspiro is a project focusing on healthy eating practices and vegan culture. The Inspiro team is now getting ready for opening their own restaurant, delivering talks and workshops as well as cooking dinners in the kitchens of the already existing food spots in Moscow and Tokyo.

The project has recently updated their identity, with Canela and Graphik by Commercial Type. The two typefaces take turns in the brand messages and in the logotype itself.

Visual identity proposal for the Orto Botanico di Palermo (Botanic Garden of Palermo) my classmate Federica Fresta and I made for the Graphic Design 3 class at Accademia di Belle Arti di Palermo (Academy of Fine Arts of Palermo).

We redesigned the whole visual identity of the Botanic Garden of Palermo, a museum and educational-scientific institution, an historical and iconic green space of our city that hosts more than 12,000 different plant specimens.

This proposal starts from the vision of the Botanic Garden of Palermo as both a well-established institution and a public space for the community to experience nature and learn about botanical sciences. We wanted to truthfully represent the importance and the cultural relevance of such space.

We adopted a contemporary approach with bold colors and appealing shapes to bring the institution to the present day and make it look vital and vivacious as it really is.

The visual identity of La Filmoteca was designed by Democràcia, using Exposure by Federico Parra Barrios and Neue Montreal by Mathieu Desjardins.

Here is more information from the Democràcia website:

Flexible Identity for the Valencian Film Archive of the Valencian Institute of Culture (Valencian Government).
Reviving pop, punk, and counterculture. Advocating for socializing and sharing cinema.
In the style of a Fanzine and as a form of revival, the Filmoteca's identity has been created with the assistance of the Exposure® typography by Federico Parra Barrios and edited by 205TF.
Based on the play of light, the brand is presented with a variable identity.
Inspired by self-publishing, for editorial use and publications, the brand employs a simple structure. The treatment of images complements the content, adding identity to the refined aesthetic. The use of leftover printer papers in random colors adds originality and spontaneity.

Located in Valencia, the Filmoteca is both a library and a cinema. It screens art house, classic, experimental and original films. This cinema bases its program on already released films. These are usually included in seasons that correspond to an actor, a director, a theme, a cinematic tendency or a different school. These can be either foreign or Spanish productions. It's worth noting that it is one of the few cinemas that screen short films. It is, at the same time, one of the most active cinemas during the annual Muestra de Cine del Mediterranni (Mediterranean Film Festival).

Born from the belief that nourishing, high quality, planet-friendly products should be available to everyone, Wholesome is the online eco-health pantry and membership that makes a difference at every step. They tasked Universal Favourite with an end-to-end brand overhaul that would reflect the innovation of their DTC offering, looking, feeling and sounding as good as the brands and products they stock.

The logo is set in Gooper, a typeface that embodies the communal spirit of its heritage (the ever-ubiquitous, retro Cooper) while bringing its own goopy, playful flair. Slight customisations were made to the w allowing it to tuck neatly under the h ascender and also to shine as a standalone icon. With its soft edges and winding curves, the mark is distinctively warm and inviting.

The typography intertwines practicality and expression. Gooper SemiCondensed is disarmingly personable with just enough charm for headers and large-scale use. Maison Neue takes out the role of best supporting typeface, providing a clean but friendly sans serif that’s ideal for smaller pops of copy. And then there’s Kale Sans Mono – the informative, matter-of-fact, typewriter-esque workhorse. Together they make for a type system that’s as rich in quality and variety as the brand they represent.

Words by Accompany:

Round and Round is a digital platform that provides Sydney residents know-how and local connections to go circular and further a more sustainable Sydney.

We’re at a tipping point with consumption and waste in Australia. We love to buy the new, the next, the many, and we’re way too good at throwing things away! The latest stats revealing each Australian is producing around 2.95T of rubbish a year. Ow! Each acquisition and disposal we make begetting a black mark on planet earth and big bill in waste services.

This calls for a massive shift in people’s behaviours. It also calls for motivating resources to support and enable more responsible choices and actions.

Round and Round has been developed by Accompany as a tangible commitment and demonstration of our aim to create work that contributes to a better future. We want to drive behavioural change, encourage people to make better choices with their personal consumption and household waste and bring about a social movement that advocates a sustainable agenda.

TT Trailers became the new branding typeface of pamipe pet food, one of Spain’s first home delivery feed subscriptions for pets. From Omni Design:

In our sessions to compare ourselves to the gigantic brands in the market in their clinical, youthful, friendly, sweet, familiar, childish, happy positioning... we found the solution. We had to leave the slipstream of the competition, turn the brand upside down; Pamipe needed to break with everything established, show herself as a leader; safe, authentic and light-hearted.

This is how we start working. Stop treating our pets like babies and celebrate, as they like, the freshest instincts with an extremely simple, modern and groundbreaking tone of voice and message.

Pamipe has been created to get your attention. From Murcia to the world. The food that if your pet could talk, it would order.

From The Office of Ordinary Things:

Named after an iconic Wendell Berry poem, Mad Agriculture is at the forefront of the regenerative agriculture revolution. We created a visual ecosystem that’s as “alive, messy, and mutable” as the work they do (and the poets they read).

The Mad Agriculture brand channels the gritty, hands-on attitude shared by counterculturalists and farmers alike—where things are slightly off kilter and the unexpected is embraced.

The Office of Ordinary Things selected an amalgam of typefaces rooted in history and tradition to represent that Mad Agriculture within its agricultural and countercultural contexts. Editorial New channels the organic and delicate qualities of environmental and back-to-the-earth movements, while Antique No. 6 invokes a rural, “wild west” but sensible tone; ITC Franklin Gothic makes a loud, emphatic statement harkening punk sensibilities and protest movements. Through this, we create a “biodiverse” typographic ecosystem as alive and dynamic as the prairie strips central to the brand’s concepts and to regenerative agriculture’s success.

It’s not everyday you get to work with a client as exciting and energetic as this, so when Monkey Baa Theatre Co. approached Universal Favourite for a rebrand, we knew we were in for something fun. In need of a visual and verbal identity that could live up to the invigorating and imaginative nature of their offering, Universal Favourite worked with the team to create a brand that’s as rich in emotion and character as their performances and resonates with audiences both young and old alike.

The logo heroes Sebenta – a contemporary slab-serif in a style often seen in children’s books – and the lockups are playfully put together, creating a mark that’s grounded yet lively, like an excited child trying to stay put in a theatre seat. The simplicity of the wordmark not only celebrates the heritage of the company but acts as a confident, professional anchor for an otherwise energetic brand. It’s paired with Gellix for headlines and body copy – a modern, bold, geometric sans serif that’s easy to read but still holds character and quirk.
