I am head over heels in love with this fantastic identity by the Leeds-based Passport Design Bureau for The Wood Beneath The World, an “immersive, interactive and visually stunning environment designed to encourage exploration, imagination and creativity”. It’s jam-packed full of details and symbols pulled from folklore.

Their brief was “to develop an identity for the event whereby the aesthetic needed to communicate a formal, official tone of voice but with a hint of magic, merging the location of the project in the city’s town hall, but also the mysterious woodland that lies below it“.

Nailed it.

Jose Carratalá tres jolie store branding AMS Design Blog_000

I’m a big fan of this store design by London-based designer Jose Carratalá for the Spanish ceramic jewellery store ‘Tres Jolie’.

“A range of white and pastel colors and the simplicity of the shapes prevail in each piece of jewelry. In fact, the identity pretends to reflect this handicraft aspect. This is why an attempt to get a typography as exclusive as every single piece of jewelry has been made, trying to translate the always different and unique pieces into a warm script type and a formal serif one.”

Their first product line was this great set of handmade bow ties.

Designer Peter Csuth worked on the visual identity, including some very cute individually stamped packages.

I love the hand-lettered logo and rubber stamped letterhead, and the illustrated cards are very sweet. Check out more of her work here.

Not only is the colour palette beautifully vintage and oh so Parisian, but the logo is also very clever. Grab a book, order yourself a coffee and settle in.

“Every candle is the original detail of the interior. TROPE Candles are metaphors about idea of destruction daily things.”

The branding is beautifully grungey and rustic, using a great logo stamp and shoebox style packaging. Check them out here.

Crows’ Nest is a vintage store and the branding reflects this through the use of kraft paper, twine and a monochrome colour scheme.

The branding is fun yet well thought out enough to be able to carry off the simplicity of the products.
I love the large typography, especially on the coffee and the stamp.

Apparently the client thought the first (top) version was too ‘heavy-handed’, hence the second version, but I love them both. The top one looks very elfin a la Lord of the Rings, no?

The brief was to make it feel modern but not ‘westernised’, with the added difficulty of everything having to be bilingual.


You can see more work by Kshitij here.
