• Halcyon days

  Posted 23 January 2012

  To keep my creative juices flowing I fancied popping to see the Hockey exhibition at the The Royal Academy of Arts. Attempting this on a Saturday proved foolish, the queue resembled a Selfridges Boxing Day sale massacre – Hockney was aborted. Happily I then stumbled upon the Halcyon Gallery while strolling down Bond Street. This fantastic gallery, spread across three beautiful venues on Bond Street and Berkeley Square had a rich mix of artists from Matisse and Warhol to the fantasy worlds created by Chihuly.

  

  The best room in any of the spaces belonged to the Bruton Street venue. Roped off from public view, the room was even more enchanting. Whilst teetering over the barrier I was politely asked to wind my neck in and then informed by very friendly staff that I could enter the room — maybe she thought I was going to purchase a piece..? The room was the office of the galleries director and inside were two Monet's, a Picasso, a Lowry and a Mauro Perucchetti sculpture.

  

  Windows are so 2011.

• Happy birthday Stephen Hawking!

  Posted 9 January 2012

  As part of Stephen Hawking's 70th Birthday celebrations, Bisqit designed concepts for event branding to be used as a backdrop for a series of conferences held at Cambridge University. 

  The Intel sponsored event used 'cosmology' themed photography, with the branding solution used on a range of display materials from pop up stands to conference stage display boards. Being such a high profile event it even made the BBC 10 o'clock news!

• An engaging brand transformation

  Posted 21 November 2011

  Kameleon are a brand engagement agency, their goal is to transform consumer opinions of brands through the creation of branded content that people want to spend time with. Having outgrown their current identity they needed a brand that reflected their key values; engagement, ideas, and transformation.

  

  
  At the heart of the brand is a new logo – both an abstract ‘K’ and a visual reference to transformation. This, coupled with an engaging tone of voice and contemporary graphic language to fully reflect the positioning. 

  The new brand has been rolled out across all marketing material including website, stationery, templates and their fanstastic trend spotting twitter.

• Strike a pose

  Posted 31 October 2011

  

  Fashion in the office is normally saved for ‘dress down Friday’ but we are collaborating with photographer Dan Wilton, (example of his work shown above), to create a set of unique workplace images tinged with a fashion edge. These images will form part of the brand expression for a major client project that we are currently working on, we will keep you posted with the results!

• Bisqit go Dutch

  Posted 1 June 2011

  A lucky few from Bisqit managed to pop out of the studio on a lovely sunny morning to check out the fantastic 'Wim Crouwel — A Graphic Odyssey' exhibition at the Design Museum. Crouwel is arguably most famous for the space age designs he created in the 60's, with his typography making a comeback in the late 80's and 90's, seen on album covers and club posters galore.

  I personally found great delight in some of his later work, the first corporate identities created by Crouwel and his colleagues at Total Design. Identity systems for companies such as Makro and Randstad that Total Design created nearly 40 years ago still remain untouched today. Loving this shot of the members of the Total Design group, 1982, you know these guys mean business. 

  Strictly no snaps allowed inside the exhibition so you can't see any exciting pictures of Bisqit purring over Crouwel's and Total Design's awesome back catalogue. We did still need evidence that we had left the studio so we got a shot of these ancient coke guidelines at the small coke promo pop up outside the gallery!
