Sculpt logo and identity

Sculpt is an interior architectural studio and workshop based in Birmingham. They needed a comprehensive rebrand to give them a stronger presence across all touchpoints, echoing Sculpt’s fundamental principles – reshape, redesign, refine.

The rebrand needed to better communicate their offer and distinct approach, whilst giving greater visibility across the full client journey, from promotional materials, proposals and plans, to on-site visibility and custom material samples.

Sculpt logo and identity

Born from architectural plans, the foundation of the brand identity is the responsive ‘S’ framework that scales and adapts to any canvas, reflecting the fundamental principles of Sculpt – reshape, redesign, refine. It can be used to house, section and anchor content, or used to fit around content, but always giving the Sculpt brand a strong, constant, adaptable presence.

Sculpt logo and identitySculpt logo and identitySculpt logo and identity

The Sculpt colour palette is inspired by the natural materials and finishes that Sculpt work with on a daily basis and aligned with the Fedrigoni paper range Materica.

The brand has been adapted into physical manifestations such as bespoke high vis jackets, three dimensional material samples, and even studio shelving.

Inside Information: Cross-Sections of Retro Technology Reveal Historical Moments of Iconic Objects

Posted by Categories: Blog Comments are off for this post
Inside Information: Cross-Sections of Retro Technology Reveal Historical Moments of Iconic Objects

The distinctive Arriflex 35 IIC is one of the most significant motion picture cameras of all time, and a favourite of the Hollywood new wave of cinematographers of the 60’s ad 70’s. The hand held camera was famously beloved by Stanley Kubrick whose 1971 cult classic, A Clockwork Orange, was shot almost entirely on the Arri 35 IIC.

As part of an ongoing series titled Inside Information, UK-based design studio Dorothy explores some of the most iconic designs in the areas of film, music, personal computing, and fashion through clever “cutaway” infographics. Each illustration reveals a miniature isometric world packed with historical moments from famous concerts that used the Vox AC30 amplifier to films that utilized the Arriflex 35 IIC handheld camera which transformed movies forever. All five of the Inside Information graphics are available as 3-color litho prints on their website. (via Colossal Submissions)

 

Released in 1959 to meet the demand for louder amplifiers, the Vox AC30 was quickly adopted as the amp of choice for bands like The Beatles, The Kinks and The Stones, helping to define the sound of the ‘British Invasion’ when the popularity of British rock ’n’ roll bands spread to the States. Its appeal has continued through the decades with bands like Queen, U2, The Smiths, Oasis, Blur, Radiohead, Arctic Monkeys all counted as loyal Vox fans.

The Nike Air Max is a bona fide design classic. Designed by Tinker Hatfield and released in 1987 it has, in its 30 plus years of existence, established a cult following. Inspired by the architecture of the Centre Pompidou, it was the first trainer to offer a window to the sole, kickstarting a revolution in sneaker design.

The Minimoog was the world’s first portable (and affordable) synthesiser. Billed as ’The Moog for the road’, it revolutionized music, acquired a cult-like following (which it still enjoys to this day) and quickly became the most popular synth of its time.

The Apple Macintosh (later know as the Macintosh 128k) was launched with an Orwell inspired commercial directed by Ridley Scott, and introduced to the world by Steve Jobs on 24th January 1984. It blew our tiny little minds and for many heralded the beginning of a lifelong love affair with all things Apple.
