		<title>Rebrand &#124; FEMA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Designed by Ludvig Bruneau Rossow
Have you ever considered the importance of graphic design in a post apocalyptic scenario?
This reflection seems to be the starting point for Ludvig Bruneau&#8217;s graduation exam project of rebranding FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
FEMA&#8217;s mission is to support citizens on hazardous situations, such as terrorism and natural disasters.
With an open [...]]]></description>

		<title>Identity &#124; Just Moved</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Designed by Transformer Studio
&#8220;Just Moved is one of Canada’s cheapest full service local and national residential moving companies.&#8221;
&#8220;The goal was to create a brand identity which reflected ease of movement and affordability.&#8221;
With this in mind, the inspiring guys at Transformer Studio have designed a smart identity system based on a very simple but memorable concept: [...]]]></description>

		<title>Identity &#124; Adobe&#8217;s CS5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Designed by Adobe Desktop Brand Team
An avid user. In denial fan.
That’s how I’d describe my relationship with Adobe.
Personal quests aside, finding “Inspire” had a major impact on my consideration of the software giant.
“Inspire” is a publication from the Adobe Experience Design team. Articles range from interesting topics such as ‘Personalization and the Anti-Brand’ to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Identity &#124; Greenpeace Airplot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Designed by Airside
In fact it immediately reminds me of Animal Planet logo. But this one on the other hand has a great concept and consists on a perfect example of a well executed non-conventional identity system.
Instantly suggesting the idea of patches of field, this project has to do with Greenpeace opposing the use of fields [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rebrand &#124; Pizzanova</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Designed by Concrete
“Established in 1963, Pizza Nova is a family-owned corporation of over 100 outlets. While the growing chain operates in the highly competitive fast-food sector, they have never compromised the authenticity and quality of their product. As the next generation takes over the stewardship of the company, Pizza Nova felt that their existing brand [...]]]></description>

		<title>Website &#124; Cleveland Museum of Art</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Designed by Pentagram
Amazing use of a pure grid layout system on the most recent redesign of Cleveland Museum of Art’s website.
Lisa Strausfeld and Takaaki Okada (in collaboration with Michael Bierut) designed an engaging virtual gallery where art takes the spotlight.

“Each object in the museum&#8217;s collection appears as a &#8216;card&#8217; in the site&#8217;s relentless grid.”
The grid [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rebrand &#124; F-Secure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Designed by Muggie Ramadani
Although not being totally disruptive, this rebrand marks a considerable evolution.
The old brand mark with its highly geometric lines felt static and somewhat dated for a global leader in software that protects content, digital content.

While maintaining the previous design attributes (color tone, “F” and triangular shape for the focus)
the less geometric stripe [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rebrand &#124; Stanmore Implants</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Designed by Pentagram
A curved line within the geometric letter “S” consists of a nice visual metaphor that clearly reflects what they’re about.
Photographic style with focus on the implants themselves suggesting clarity, confidence and reliability. 

Color applied on top of the photos signaling the diversity of the offer.
The editorial style, simple on typography and honest on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Identity &#124; Icon Aircraft</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Designed by Attik
This slick identity designed by Attik perfectly reflects the high end design feel of the innovative amphibious Icon Aircraft. Beauty, sophistication and safety, core values necessary to appeal to two different targets: seasoned pilots and new pilots.

“The logo adopted a propeller form, symbolizing ‘air, water and sea’ speaking to the amphibious nature of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rebrand &#124; Melbourne</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Designed by Landor &#124; Sidney
The old brand mark looked dated but wasn’t a bad design at all. Although to represent a modern city it lacked a hugely important thing. The ability to become iconic, something that the rebrand on the other hand delivers flawlessly.

The iconic “M” logo is part of a system with a lot [...]]]></description>
