BANGER

 Banger by Angel and Anchor.

"Influenced by the sausage shape and the explosive flavours on offer, we developed a brand personality that wasn’t afraid to get frisky. The brand avoids clichĂ© by contrasting tongue-in-cheek messaging with classic type, gridded layouts and minimal colour palette."

JODRELL BANK

 Jodrell Bank by Johnson Banks.

"The final route began as a motion sketch that turned, tilted and swayed, much like the telescope itself. It became immediately clear that this could be the way forward – a symbol designed for constant motion that we could ‘freeze’ when we needed a static version."

LAY DAY

 LAY DAY by makebardo.

"LAY DAY is wrenching your jar of instant coffee out from the back of your pantry and slamming it back down on the kitchen bench! There are two roasts; a dark one which is serious, no fuss, and to the point. The other one is a light roast to set the pace of your day – smooth, unfussed, fruity."

GRAZA

 Graza by Gander.

"If you love something, squeeze it. Graza is olive oil the way it was meant to be: always fresh, never blended, and 100% squeezable!"

55th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival by Studio Najbrt.

"After the long wait, some spectators swore the poster gave them the big eye, but we can’t entirely see eye to eye about that with them. We’re just glad to be back in the dark of the theatre together."
