Late last year we heard the great news that we were to be featured in iHeartLogo’s Season 2.
Every year iHeartlogos.com runs a competition where designers can submit their work. This work is then is judged and voted for by other fellow designers. So it’s pretty tough competition and an honor to make it through to the final selection. Once the designs are whittled down then they are featured in a printed book. (more…)
I’ve always admired the Design Museum Shop Identity, it had an element of fun and a very unpretentious all inclusive feel to it. Created by Build 5 years ago, they rolled out the design across the whole museum, store and merchandise. I say ‘had’ because the Museums identity has just been redesigned by Spin.
The new design makes use of the existing main Design Museum identity and adds ‘+Shop’ to the title. It retains the more clinical, clear and sparse design adding a vertical line as a graphic device along with the use of quotes from designers.
You can read the whole story and see more of the new identity and its comparison to the old over at the Creative Review website

Dot Design recently had the pleasure of undertaking some charity design work with Sarah Olney at So Direct for Shire Heroes.
We worked with Sarah to design the above logo to support the event, here’s some more information detailing what Shire Heroes is all about…
“Shire Heroes is raising money to support members of the Armed Forces who have been wounded in the service of their country, their dependents and for those who have left the services and have fallen on hard times. It’s our way of showing we care for ordinary people, like us, doing extraordinary things in the service of their country, as part of their ‘job’.
There are many voluntary organisations helping to raise money to care for wounded soldiers and we know that more is always needed. We also know that there are many demands on people’s time and money so we are both humbled and grateful for the support we’ve received from many dedicated people living and working in and around Northamptonshire, for their time, money and commitment to help us raise our target of £25,000″
We are passionate about what we are doing and have made many friends along the way. Join us! You can commit anything from ideas, to coming to our Armed Forces Summer Ball on 24th June, and to pledging something that “money can’t buy”.
