BBC Olympics advert

I am really loving the striking 40-second spot for the BBC's forthcoming coverage of the Winter Olympics 2010 in Vancouver. The film has been created by BAFTA winning Director Marc Craste who worked alongside designer Jon Klassen in creating the look of the piece which is based around a legendary quest.

Microstream Technology re-branding

Devote have completed the facelift of the branding for Manchester based IT equipment suppliers Microstream Technology. The old brand had served them well for 5 years, but they approached Devote with the sole target of creating something much more professional and considered that will be the focus of their drive into new areas of business. The resulting logo (top) has been very well received and is in the process of being added to newly designed stationery and website.

The ABC of branding

Whilst browsing design sites i can across these striking posters. Using no ink whatsoever, these 18"x24" posters are foil stamped and embossed to create an alphabet composed of letters from many of the more famous (and some infamous) logos of all time. Simple but highly effective
