SPECS Gallery Logo

Specs Gallery is a CIC (Community Interest Company), whose aim is to showcase the work of emerging visual artists within the London area. We operate a ‘pop-up’ gallery model, meaning our only permanent gallery space is online. We use empty properties around the city to exhibit our shows, providing not only a flexible and unique gallery environment, but also contributing to the regeneration of the city at a time when more properties are empty than ever before.

Harry and Alice, two good friends of mine from MA Creative Economy at Kingston Uni, who founded this company asked me to design a logo for their new adventure. I just wanted to make it rough in a way that it shows its concept as a ‘pop up’ gallery introducing young emerging artists in London.

Passport2guide Logo

Prototypes


This was a project that I did during my MA in the Creative Economy. Our business was about a stylish town guide in ‘Passport size’. We ended up starting from online town guide due to the printing cost but the logo was designed from the initial idea of passport sized guide as its name says.

2 criteria for this logo was to keep the look & feel of the conventional Passport cover but still look young and trendy!

I realised that most passports have ‘Crest’ on the cover aligned in the center – apart from the swiss passport. Then I selected some icons related to our contents – food, club, shops etc and put them randomly to make it look like a crest. Et voila!

IKAWA Logo

About IKAWA _ from design london    

Two design graduates of the RCA’s IDE course have designed a system that disint ermediates most of the value in the supply chain of coffee, and links the coffee drinker directly to the coffee farmer. Green coffee beans are ordered on the web, despatched to the home and are roasted, roast and ground or roast, ground and brewed in an IKAWA’s coffee maker, providing the drinker with the freshest possible coffee at the press of a button.

One of the founders of IKAWA is a friend of my friend so we designed a simple yet straight forward logo for this company.
