Black & White Bands by Kerr Vernon

“Music and Design. They go together like hand in glove. Black and White bands is our latest collaboration with artisan letterpress printers Glasgow Press. The pack features six postcards of bands with black or white in their name. (As the title cleverly alludes to). The pack is neatly bound using a black and white elastic band.The bands have been interpreted through a mix of typography and illustration.”

KVGD is an independent, Glasgow based graphic design studio based in The Whisky Bond. Creative director and founder Kerr Vernon launched the business in 2010. Their meticulous, studied approach for creating engaging and thoughtful design that works has earned the studio a worldwide reputation.

Milly Advertising Rebrand by Sagmeister & Walsh

“MILLY (by Michelle Smith) wanted to rebrand their advertising and communications to reflect the attributes of their new collections: edgy, irreverent, bold and colorful. When Michelle established the MILLY brand it gained fast recognition for its retro & vintage inspired looks merging American silhouettes with French atelier style. While Michelle has kept emphasis on impeccable details and high-end custom fabrics, the style has shifted towards bolder and more fashion forward looks. We worked closely with MILLY on a rebrand campaign that reflected this evolution. We kept the existing logo mark but evolved it through animation and placement. Whether the logo grows flowers, freezes over in ice, or is painted onto a woman’s body; each application can reflect the themes and inspirations of the most recent seasons clothing line and patterns.”

Sagmeister & Walsh is a NYC based design firm that creates identities, commercials, websites, apps, films, books and objects for clients, audiences and themselves.

Studio Branding & Swag by Franklyn

“A couple of years ago, Franklyn co-founder Michael Freimuth wanted to print their name on a comb. He did and they started bringing them to new business meetings as parting gifts. They were an instant success, even with bald heads. Next came branded versions of his partner Patrick Richardson’s favorite 4-color Bic pens. Last Fall, an invitation to participate in the Image of the Studio exhibition at Cooper Union justified the creation of Franklyn toothbrushes, snapback hats, air fresheners and more.”
