Realised I've not updated on here for a while. A few things are going through my head and the studio. Here's one for Leeds based Irish Arts Festival by Irish Arts Foundation in which I've collaborated on for the past 10 years now. It's interesting to see the evolution of the design and imagery. There should be programmes dotted around the city — if not you can find it on www.irisharts.org.uk

Another update for 2014 for ChapelFM and ELFM. The bespoke letterforms have had a slight evolution and visually both logos now connect through the integration of the loop at the start of the FM.

A bolder 2014 identity for Phink72 - an updated logo, cleaning up the letter flow and a tweak, here or there, to emphasise the subliminal numeric suffix.
