Blog Focus

We have come to the conclusion that Great Women Blog and the Design Blog probably have rather different audiences. Maybe some are the same, and that would be nice. But we have decided to tease them apart.

So, if you wish to see all the Great Women together (We are adding to them monthly) please subscribe/follow: http://twosandies.posterous.com.

If you wish to follow tales of design, where we kicked off with Douglas Adams (on Towel Day) please subscribe/follow: http://day-ellison.posterous.com.

We hope to see you there!

Opening Time

Aficionados of Real Ale love the small, independent breweries that are enjoying a healthy revival these days. So we were delighted to take on an interesting commission from the new owners of Blackawton Brewery this summer. Keen to re-establish the profile of some very fine beers, the enthusiastic Dartmoor team set us the challenge of breaking away from the conventional heraldry of beer in favour of something clean and striking. All of their products were re-branded in their new livery. All under this fresh new banner logo. One highly recommended pub to visit and sample their beers (and food) is The Rugglestone Inn, Widecombe in the Moor. Cheers!

When Art Worked

A fine new book created by a great friend of our studio, David Larkin.  
When Art Worked focuses on the consequences of the art and architecture created and its efficacy in enhancing the nation’s sense of itself during this debilitating time. The text is accompanied by approximately 450 rarely seen or published color and black-and-white illustrations and newly commissioned photographs of some of the incredible works produced.
A very timely account of of how an enlightened government can engage creative energies, the unemployed and the national infra-structure in harsh economic times . . .

New Commission

Mike Cosby, Director of Protelligent, has commissioned us to create the brand for his new Financial Planning software. Already buzzing with ideas. Details under wraps for now so "Watch this space . . ."
