TOMS, the next chapter


From what started as a shoe manufacture giving one pair of shoes for every one bought, TOMS has now developed an eye wear range with the same principles.

Want anything from the shop... ...Cornetto


 Designed by Barber Osgerby will light up the streets on its tour around britain before arriving at the olympic games for the opening ceremony. The 8000 holes represent the number of people that will carry the torch on its journey. I can help thinking though, do you want a flake with that?



              Foam, card and resin designs were made before the prototype is produced

Brilliant digital things

Please just read this: http://www.marketingweek.co.uk/sectors/travel-and-leisure/kaiser-chiefs-ask-fans-to-create-and-promote-album/3027069.article


A fantastic, fully integrated digital campaign. I love watching strategy develop as technology does. This is a fantastic way to bridge the gap between fickle consumer spending and an arrogant music industry.

- Design your album: It's tracks, it's cover, it's retail outlet.

All hail the Kaiser Chief brand

What we look forward to in June

For me, a footall dweeb, the end of the season isn't such a bummer.

If anything, I really look forward to it - there's a flurry of new football kits for me to waste my time scouring. With this also comes new boots, new ad campaigns and generally the build up to a fresh start for all football teams.

Everything is generally far more enjoyable when the sun come out too.

Where am I going with this?

Here:

Interesting to see the angles each club is taking moving their brands forward. Both have some lovely touches.

The layering, bold features of Oldham (image 1) are powerful and smart whilst the tonal, simple imagery of Coventry (image 2) is minimal and cultured.

I'd summarise by saying Oldham have gone modern whereas Coventry have moved towards contemporary.

Both do a great job for each and I'll look out for these next season.

Hooray for the re-brand.

Enjoy the sun, up to 25 deg. ? Beautiful.
