Nike Air Shop
The New Company
Bob Young:

Beautifully alternative and charming work from The New Company for Airshop by Nike manages to feel both retro and progressive in its art direction. Airshop is a new initiative by Nike to feature and celebrate all of its air products into one place. The New Company were responsible for creating a flexible graphic language and art direction that ties together a wide variety of products into a cohesive environment.

Video Games
Supple Studio
Alex Swatridge:

For the inner child in all of us, Supple Studio and Bitmap Books have brought to life classic British Video Games for Royal Mail across stamps and products. There are lots of lovely details and hidden gems including Geoff Hurst’s 66 world cup goal and UV messages from the original gameplay. I was a pretty big Lemmings fan myself. As they said themselves ‘a complete dream job’.

Rail Road
Pacifica
Bob Young:

Rail Road is an exceptional project designed by Pacifica. The book is the print documentary of a film about the Portuguese surfer Nic von Rupp, directed by Gustavo Imigrante. Remarkably they have managed to create a physical piece that not only serves as a companion to the film but works as a compelling standalone book.

Super Trash
Seachange
Jamie Ellul:

I’m in love with this work by my new fave agency Seachange. Supertrash is a disruptive new player in the waste management sector. A small, family-run collection service with a big purpose; to help divert waste from landfill through circular solutions. Seachange have created an iconic globe logo that references the circular economy. Overprinting is utilised to evoke repurposing and recycling, paired with bold pattern and copy.

Imagine if all rubbish collections looked this good.

Amsterdam Sinfonietta
Studio Dumbar
Shane Keane:

Studio Dumbar’s work for Amsterdam Sinfonietta is wonderful in how it does so much with so little. Just type, colour, and scale. Oh, and it really sings when animated. Orchestras afford plenty of creative latitude to graphic designers—yet it’s rare to to see something this distinct, beautiful and off the beaten track. Encore!

Exhibition London
Carter Studio
Jamie Ellul:

Father and son duo Carter Studio have created a confident name and identity for a new cultural venue housed in a Grade II-listed former power station that once served London’s historical world fair site.

The identity centres around an iconic silhouette of the building’s distinctive gables – formed by a neat flip of the X. Supported by industrial typography, originally drawn in the same era, and a distinctive colour palette based on the surviving tiling within the space.

Museo Morelense de Arte Contemporáneo
Sociedad Anónima
Brent Couchman:

Sociedad Anónima has created an identity for The Museo Morelense de Arte Contemporáneo (MMAC) Juan Soriano, a new art museum in Cuernavaca. The solution perfectly reflects the architectural features of the museum, creating a subtle and distinctive identity through a single custom typeface.
