Router

We were invited by Tendril to collaborate with their design team on a new film for AutoStore. Tendril were tasked with creating a film that visually captured AutoStore’s Router and its unique and powerful benefits. Using bright, engineered surfaces and consoles, their intent was to create an intimate and up-close perspective of the brand and user experience.

Our role was to use the pre-existing Router logo and transform it into a three dimensional artistic representation of the technology.

Smart Meters

We worked with AMV BBDO to develop a series of typographic designs expressing various types of energy.

The campaign for Smart Energy encourages both the public and businesses to install Smart Meters, which help to provide greener energy and reduce outgoings.

Fluent UI

Microsoft approached us to create an alternative typographic take on their Fluent UI logotype which uses their brand typeface Segoe. The idea was that our more expressive version would transform to become Segoe in its rested state. We built and modelled type that took the proportions of Segoe and elevated it, making it technical, physical and transformative. This served as the opener for an animated film introducing Fluent UI at the Microsoft Build 2020 conference.

Fluent UI is a collection of UX frameworks — a cross-platform, open-source approach that enables people to contribute and improve on the design-to-code system.

Creators Unite

Adidas invited us to take part in an explorative study utilising their brand mark, brand typefaces and also customised and uniquely made type.

The broad emphasis was on play & disruption, along with everything that goes in between. We were encouraged to manipulate, hack, customise, break, distort and combine to create expressive, playful compositions — this is a selection of our favourites.

This print pays homage to an excerpt from Carl Sagan’s book Pale Blue Dot. Sagan was inspired by an image taken, at his own suggestion, by Voyager 1 on February 14, 1990. As the spacecraft moved towards the outer edges of our solar system, engineers turned it around to gaze upon our tiny planet. Voyager 1 was approximately 4 billion miles away when it captured a portrait of earth, appearing only as a tiny point of light, a pale blue dot.

Sagan later described our planet as “a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam”.

Created for CommUNITY, a collaborative project between Mucho & San Francisco Design Week (SFDW).
