City of Las Vegas Logo

The new City of Las Vegas Government logo in my opinion is there in thought and concept but the end result isn't as great as it should be. The typography is in keeping with the clear 1960's Googie style they were aiming for but through the bad stroke on the V and the strange arrangement of lettering specifically the last S is odd and seems a little rushed.

The original logo was far more appropriate to what I would think of as more the corporate professional logo for the Las Vegas Government and I feel that the other is just trying to make the brand feel more youthful and modern but isn't quite successful.

For this visual identity, we choose the font Big Noodle Titling for the “CITY OF” type because of its wonderful clarity in any medium. Big Noodle captures an industrial feel with a modern, progressive flair that is perfectly timeless. The “Las Vegas” type originated from the font, Stay High by Syed Faraz Ahmed. We transformed each letter to embody the mood and style of the city. The imperfect flow and vintage, hand-lettered type gives the design a classic look with a contemporary nod to the glamorous Las Vegas of yesteryear.

Quote from the Pink Kitty Creative Project page.

The overall look is similar to the existing logo used for general tourism branding of Las Vegas, although this new logo again just looks like a cheaper version of this. I would have preferred them to have updated the existing logo, modernise and simplify it, perhaps loosing the stroke widths.

Virgin Atlantic Safety Video

This video caught my attention on a recent holiday aboard a Virgin Atlantic flight to Florida, the video is displayed before the flight and aims to deliver the essential safety information through an engaging and unique style. A story plays out throughout the short film, the use of animation engages you into the video and communicates the information to the viewer successfully. The company behind the project, Art & Graft created the initial ideas for the 6 minute film in just under 3 months. Considering throughout the process that the video must be able to stay on trend and current throughout it’s probably long tenure and diverse use throughout the Virgin Atlantic fleet. https://youtu.be/8XNxZh9_YN0 Storyboard concept for the opening scenes.

Deliveroo springs a new logo

Deliveroo has updated it's identity to become more sharper and minimal, they have however retained the Kangaroo imagery in keeping with the 'roo' part of the brand name, which I think is a nice touch and one that could of easily been swiped away, this gives the brand something to attach and promote itself with rather than being typical and sticking with food or conventional delivery imagery. Before and after comparison from Under Consideration Although I like the new style, I don't think it reflects the brand quite so well, with some tweaking and simplifying the original logo could have been updated and I feel that would have been a far better approach to take than rebranding completely to a style I feel is quite cold. Illustration style show through posters The style they have used I think is quite nice in it's actual design and the simplicity of it stands out against the competition, however I feel for a company who's basis is food this ...

Chronology

For my final major project, I developed a brand identity for a theme park, called Chronology based in Stoke-on-Trent. Materials produced in association with this concept include tickets and vouchers alongside a range of promotional print such as leaflets and guides. In addition to these developed products I produced a vertical wall poster displaying a general advertisement for the Chronology theme park / attraction. I looked at ways I could reach my target market through the development of a mobile app, and an interface that can link the park real time with the application. I developed concepts for the Exhibition Space including to scale representations of the artwork I would include. I wanted to give the Exhibition Space a theme so I thought of different textures of wallpaper to use and the inclusion of lighting. The logo was crafted from drawing done by hand. I wanted something that looked handwritten and at the same time inco...
