Glorious came to visit

On 26/2/09, Glorious, a award winning design company came to visit and showed us their work. They have done work for the Tate and North West Enquirer. I liked all their work, and these works in particular stood out to me.

Karl's Barbershop

The owner of one of Manchester's last traditional gentleman's barbers wanted something special when celebrating 40
years in business.

I thought this guerilla/ambient media was a really good idea, when you pulled it out the part in the middle looked like it was spinning, like the symbol that is placed outside a barber shop does.

The font for 'reddog' caught my eye. It shows that to create a successful logo it does not have to use professional typography, you can just place an existing font in illustrator and draw around it, to create this font



and this logo




Lastly, their 'Make me C' campaign using typography out of tools and appliances I thought was really impressive. The typography is unique and each tool for each letter really works, here is the logo that Glorious created.
