The lovely Chancellor’s Court of Benefactors crest, drawn over thirty years ago, has been turned into a proper logo design – and I wrote some logo usage and visual identity guidelines to go with it while I was at it.
Great brands endure, and this one has certainly stood the test of time!

Now we have a second volume of When Reading Really Rocked, covering the punk explosion in Reading – bands, venues, record labels, recording studios, fanzines and more. I love the punk-era DIY attitude, outrageous outfits and hairstyles! The most enjoyable aspect of this project was connecting with some of the people who were there.

I wish I could show you just how lovely these invitations are: printed on thick card and finished with gold foil – a website could never do these justice.

Well, this makes it official! The University of Oxford has a new giving circle along with a new Vice-Chancellor, and it has a visual identity with proper guidelines.
This doesn’t stop me from having fun with it when the opportunity presents itself. This invitation for an event centred around microscopic imaging technology pioneered at O-XFORD practically designed itself.

Oxford Botanic Garden & Arboretum is celebrating its 400 year anniversary, and I’m at it again with the gold foil!
Lots of other event bits too, such as this lovely programme, which gives a historical overview – and a glimpse of future plans.
