Friday chat - do you have a favourite design/creative agency who you keep your eye on more than others?
Personally, I've always been enamoured by Dixon Baxi (Simon Dixon is a lovely man and always very responsive on LinkedIn), Johnson Banks and Wolff Olins.
But now, Ragged Edge are really catching my attention - their First Choice rebrand just the latest in a line of great projects, like Marshmallow insurance and Wise (formerly TransferWise).
Who's your favourites?

- Forgot to add https://www.uncommon.london/ and their great campaigns for BA and Hiscox
- design.studio is one of my favourites so far. They're really expert for creating lovemarks.
- @Geoffrey Bunting always nice to have both sides of opinions - any particular reason you don't like Wolff Olins?
- @Vikki Ross admittedly I only came across Nomad when the new Premier League branding was released! And their stuff is great!
- I like to keep track of Wolff Olins for reminders of what not to do.
- Yep, Ragged Edge get branding through and through.See also: Nomad Studio.
- @Anna Negrini Oh wow, Design Bridge was Superunion?! When did this rebrand happen? Must have been recent, otherwise I'm not sure how I missed this?!
- @Matt Pilcher nothing wrong at all with a little bit of bias, will check it out sir!
- @Sarah Boris thanks, been a while since I bought a book so this might be a good one!
- @Luke Freeman ✓✐ Thanks for the tip, will check it out!
- @Sarah Boris Love that book, got the 1st edition bought it because of APFEL
- Tend edge towards to low end design practises who have worked at the likes “Wolff Olins” then to establish their own practise from the ground up pathing a foundation based on their ethics, to test their direction of a true cutting edge design. Like Roanne Adams (Ro&Co).Here is a podcast(s):https://soundcloud.com/privateviews/roandco
- Hi Gary check out the book Studio Culture Now published by Unit Editions. It gathers a lot of great studios and lots of tips from these studios on how they run their practice etc. Mine happens to be in it but regardless of that it's a great way to discover a fantastic roster https://uniteditions.com/products/studio-culture-nowHope you enjoy browsing the book
- I am biased becuase I run the company but... F That!Check out our work here: https://www.instagram.com/fthatcreative
- I love Ragged Edge and Dixon Baxi too!. Then in random order: Studio Dumbar (I watched a couple of talks and really like their attitude towards experimenting just for the sake of it), Pentagram is always good, Design Bridge (former Superunion), Collins (https://www.wearecollins.com/), Templo (https://templo.co.uk/)
- @Gary Wai-man Kwok Right!! studio nari branding and type work is so cool and always interesting. I always come across Wolff Olins work. I will have to look into more projects they have done ! I like the LG 3D campaign on instagram :)
- @Lamise E Oohhh I just checked out Studio Nari and the type work is fantastic! Especially taken with the identity for Bunch – kind of stuff I would love to work on!A very weird (and I'm sure, unintentional) coincidence with an image from the Bunch case study (from 2022) - the squiggly 'W' in the word 'welcome', looks A LOT like the squiggly 'W' of the Wolff Olins rebrand released this week (2023). As I said, surely a coincidence because I love the WO rebrand....
- Hi Gary ! Love this question At the moment I have been loving Studio Nari and the experimental typography and cool branding. They are brand I would love to work with !Another has to be works studio based in NYC, the work they produce everytime is so clean. I love streetwear and they create a lot of typography and work for fashion brands. :)
