Was just finally sorting my Behance account out - and I had a quick trawl through the branding section, there's some great stuff on there - but I thought I'd repost this just because it made me laugh! 'Bout time someone took the piss out of this trend eh?
You can see the rest of the project here.

Frater

So I loved this video when it came out - and recently saw it again so I thought I'd have a look and find out who done it!
Turns out it's by these guys, Frater - Jim Field and Benji Davis, who apparently collaborate with bloody everyone. The illustrations are by Sarah Larnach, and lend themselves really beautifully to rotoscoping - I wish I'd managed to achieve even half of what this girl has with my poor attempt back in June.

Anyway - I just thought it was quite an interesting way to work...
They say they are have links with Partizan Lab, looking through it I've spotted some familiar music videos and the like... maybe worth a look to some of you.

Also, I want this guys job.

Wire Design - Whole Education

Whole Education branding by Wire Design - www.wiredesign.com




This is awesome.
Based on the education system producing well rounded individuals - instead of the focus being on typically academic achievement.

View Creative

I really like the approaches used by View Creative when it comes to branding. It's less about a logo and more about a general feeling or look when the brand is viewed as a whole.

This one below is very small scale, just web based I think, but the striking red and black make a potentially boring subject matter really quite intriguing.
I was considering using a muted colour palette for this D&AD brief, but I'm tempted to go in the opposite direction now.

The Partners

Design agency I'm looking at in relation to a D&AD brief - it's really hard to get an idea of the work they do through photos, but they're a really influential branding agency where the branding goes far deeper than just a logo or a theme. It's worth reading through a few of their case studies anyway, it's a refreshing way to go about branding.

B&W - Republic

I've always absolutely loved the Republic branding and it suddenly hit me that a lot of my work is inspired by this simple approach to logo design, so I thought I'd better make it known.

Nearly all the clothing labels sold in Republic have been designed by the same studio (B&W),  and though they are all different, they all work together in a way that defines the shop as a whole.
