Hipster Branding project by Dave Spengeler. He reimagined and redesigned popular brands using the current design trends.
Although how m-inspira came to be is quite complicated. Let’s say it started by one studying industrial design – then mastering in graphic design, skipping the annual furniture fair, making friends with others sharing similar taste for nice design..
Clearly seeking their way / voice – never underestimate small beginnings – we were all newbies once.
Love two eye candy projects. The luscious gelatin typography on the index.

And the Fallas Turis 2012 poster.
Visual amusements based on a highly recognizable icon brought to you by Leonard Savage.
In response to the "What have you enterprised as a personal project lately?" question asked to Featured by group on FB, a designer that I admire, Gregor Žakelj head of VBG answered this:
This was our new years gift to clients. It’s the tangible connection between a designer’s world and the world around the designer. We wanted to show how we see things in pixels…
Here it is the Pixel ruler.

(Suggest you read copy on project page – inspiring)
Mr. B’s website is what a collection of products should be about. Luxurious expanse of empty mixed in a subdued palette and gorgeous photography.
Love some of their copy – which is probably applicable to design at large as well:
Classic. It isn’t old. It isn’t retro. And it definitely isn’t sentimental for some bygone era. Classic has one foot in then and one foot in now. And always will. Classic evolves but doesn’t age. Classic isn’t a style, yet classic is never out of style. Classic doesn’t suddenly become classic again; classic is forever.

Beautiful branding and ID by Dry UK, a London base creative agency.
Dinnick & Howells is a design and motion graphics studio located in Toronto. They specialize in the creative interpretation and design execution of marketing and communication strategy in all mediums. Ambitious statement. So do they deliver?
Love the 3D wooden logo.
Mouth watering. Pure eye candy. Literally! Check-out this upcoming new frozen popsicle called, “Nuna” a collaboration between artist and architect Manu Kumar with Stefan Gandl of Neubau Berlin.
Let’s talk about the logo? Oh my superb. And the frozen shape? Astounding. And the communication collaterals..
Top product and branding design.
