Today we had the pleasure of attending The West of England Design Forum’s special screening of Made You Look.

Made You Look is a documentary about the UK DIY graphic arts scene in the 21st century and includes contributions from a top British creatives, publishers and agency owners including Anthony Burrill, Pete Fowler, Kate Moross, Fred Deakin of Airside, Jon Burgerman and Hattie Stewart. The film’s makers explore the idea that more people than ever seem to be turning to analogue methods of creating despite living in a highly digital world. Made You Look premiered at Soho House as part of the Pick Me Up festival in spring 2015 and is currently doing a tour of selected design events and festivals.

It was a fascinating watch and an informative Q&A session followed with the film’s co-directors Anthony Peters and Paul O’Connor from the Look and Yes collective, illustrators Ed Cheverton and Ben O’Brien (AKA Ben the Illustrator).

In summary, is print dead, has digital taken over the world – I don’t think so. It’s only just getting going. The two just need to work out how to be friends.

We get asked to create unique, clever, simple logos almost on a weekly basis, and we are constantly seeking inspiration from a number of sources. Then you come across a blog post like this and you think: “I wish I created that”. A common feeling for most designers. Hats off. Some great logos here.

If you are interested in logos we’ve created, please request one of our logo booklets.

Just a note to congratulate Lost & Found Creative client, Gloucester Brewery, on their recent success at the CAMRA awards, becoming Gloucestershire Beer Champion by CAMRA for their Citra pale ale beer.

We are all raising a glass to you. Congratulations.

We’re really enjoying our new recruit, Ellie Goulding (we wish)! Great to see yet another track in the charts using the name or lyric “Lost & Found”. It’s amazing how many are out there. We did this about 3 years ago, but how many can you name? How many more have been released in this period?

This month Lost & Found Creative created a new master logo for Connected Coaching and a suite of logos for their supporting product strands. This logo started life as a bold C symbol turned 90 degrees, we then developed the negative space to form a ‘coach’ icon. Colour gradient applied to add depth and a sense of ‘hero’. Simple and effective (we hope).

It has been an absolute pleasure to work with new Cotswold Bridal Beauty offering EmilyJeanne. Over the last four weeks we have created a discreet and elegant brand identity to support her beautiful bridal imagery. A portfolio website is due to follow in the coming weeks.

We wish Emily all the very best as she enters into this extremely competitive market. No doubt she has the talent to shine.
