  Randan Film and Television ProductionsScotland’s leading TV and Film production companies Mallinson Television Productions (MTP) and Bombito Productions launch their new collaborative outfit Randan. I had the pleasure of working with the team to create the new logo. In Scotland a Randan is most commonly known for being a heavy drinking session however it turns out it’s also a boat. Had a great time exploring options for both meanings and in the end landed on this playful but professional logo.

  Glug Glug WineGlug Glug is a passion project I’ve been working on for a while now.
