Sketch and Scribble: Flatpack typography

http://ryansales.blogspot.com/2009/09/flatpack-typography.html

Friday, September 04, 2009. Read yesterday that Ikea is globally replacing their existing brand font futura with verdana. It seems the cost of purchasing all those licenses is prohibitive and as the microsoft endorsed is ubiquitous, it will be easier to implement. If ever there was a case study for the importance of type in a brand visual language, this will be it. Gone will the modernist vision, replaced with a blander articulation. Where's the personality?

Sketch and Scribble: Twitterings

http://ryansales.blogspot.com/2009/02/twitterings.html

Wednesday, February 18, 2009. Just as it has hit critical mass. I (or rather we, our business Spinner. Have joined the Twitterers and gone Twittering crazy at www.twitter.com/studiospinner. Great fun, and it's truly reflective of our social behaviours. Short, supposedly sharp, and badly spelt - the noughties in a nutshell. The trouble with so many blogs. Bemoaning the erosion of our language, and he's the greatest Twitterer of them all. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Marks ...

Sketch and Scribble: Morph reborn!

http://ryansales.blogspot.com/2009/03/morph-reborn.html

Monday, March 02, 2009. As a subscriber to Esquire. I receive line-free versions of the magazine through my letterbox. Last month, the cover star was not either a most-lusted or most-wanted celeb, but the more understated but not underdressed Morph. He was the star of a fashion shoot, the first time he has been dressed, and his plasticine accessories (by Paul Smith. Amongst others) were tailormade. The white leather gucci loafers were very cute. And with Max Clifford. Like PR planning, he descended.

Sketch and Scribble: It's what you leave out that counts

http://ryansales.blogspot.com/2009/09/its-what-you-leave-out-that-counts.html

Friday, September 04, 2009. It's what you leave out that counts. Been a fan of Noma. For a while - his illustrations for Esquire. Are fantastic, clever, witty and apt, and I would love to commission him soon. He has a new book out called 'Negative Space'. A philosophy I have been advocating for some time - see www.equiniti.com. We created and an excellent example of a marque and name in union. The Fedex. Logo is probably the most famous, if under the radar of most consumers. Check him out. Stop Stealing ...

Sketch and Scribble: James Bond

http://ryansales.blogspot.com/2009/02/james-bond.html

Friday, February 06, 2009. Just saw the titles for Quantum of Solace (on DVD) - rather underwhelmed by them. Keeping a balance between the iconic stylism of previous openings and producing something fresh and relevant must be a challenge, but i think they ( MK12. Failed. Neither sexy, innovative nor exciting. To be honest, I wasn't that keen on Casino Royale. View my complete profile. Follow me on Twitter. Enter your email address:. Subscribe in a reader.

Sketch and Scribble: 2012 pictograms

http://ryansales.blogspot.com/2009/10/2012-pictograms.html

Wednesday, October 21, 2009. The proposed pictograms for the 2012 Olympics. Have just been released, and seems to have raised quite a few opinions, if the number of comments on Creative Review's blog. Is any kind of guide. There are two versions, a silhouette and a 'dynamic' version, apparently inspired by the London Underground map though to me, the more than generous nod is towards the identity itself. Of course it's easy to knock. And many, many people have criticised the Olympic brand identity. A Smi...
