Music Around Branding

Here is a bit of branding we created for a really special client. The brief was to create a logo for a not your run of the mill school music teacher. So taking influence from 60′s counter culture we dug around for old copies of OZ magazine and hippie posters that helped us come up with a logo that had to potential to excite the yoof and oldies alike.

Beneath Steel Sky

This is the first in a series of posts about Grant Midwinter developing a game for Sony and this week we’ve had the pleasure of meeting legendary games creator Charles Cecil for a little input on our project. For those of you not in the know Charles Cecil is a major force in interactive entertainment and has been part of the industry for over 25 years. Mr Cecil’s hits include the soon to be re-released Broken Sword (for the iphone) and the classic Beneath Steel Sky which is available for the iphone now.

Newsam Font

What you might not know is, Grant Midwinter are font freaks and typography plays a massive part in nearly all the work we do. We’ve been meaning to create a typeface for while and this is a side project we’d like to share with you.

This display font was inspired by a local county house. Hopefully we’ll get to work up this draft up to a full typeface, but please get in touch (leave a message or send an email ) if you’d like to collaborate on this! Type geeks unite.
