Looking for a new code editor. Simple front-end work is all I need. What are folks using these days? Strongly considering Panic's Nova, seems to fit my vibe.

Offcut from the archive for a direction that didn’t go anywhere. An anti-boring cybersecurity consultant brand identity.

Pumped to start work on the website for this brand. Last concept visual I promise.

More from this quick brand sprint.

I’m a sucker for a deboss.

Some round 1 brand identity work for dev studio Three Circles. Just one dude somehow combining full-stack dev, academic research and being a qualified clinical psychologist. Madness!

Pitched a lot of concepts and taglines to my wife for our new Brightfolk.studio group offer, Ink Copy Club — a copywriting club helping service providers with a real sour relationship with socials get their content done in an hour a week.

Some from the rejected pile ↯

I've honed my branding process so precisely + efficiently. I love the vast middle where I spend nine days and nights past the budgeted two hours agonising over 1200 typefaces.

And then go back to that first one

I know you said there wasn’t much wiggle room in the budget for extras but I found this jaw-dropping grotesque for only 43,000 Danish Krones per year

This one didn't make the final cut for Pluto — but it was my personal favourite.

More Consulting For Good brand work. Nat is a pro’s pro and the best to work with. Looking forward to seeing CFG go from best-kept-secret to established 💪

Some identity work we're cooking up for a marketing consultant to non-profits. One of the good ones.

A peek at some brand identity work we did for Pluto — a telehealth app making therapy more accessible for kids.

Such a rad project! Can't reveal the full character design yet, but there's a squishy little mascot waiting in the wings too.

Just wrapped a brand sprint for Chantelle at Psyber — a cybersecurity consultant who specialises in anti-boring awareness training.

Zagged pretty hard on this one. Anything but shields, locks, eyes and dark colour schemes became the brief.

This email will always get opened. Loving this cover by Tom Etherington.

Amazing deep-dive on a very old and very everywhere font.
I think every designer should write a love letter to a font at least once in their lifetime.

This is mine: A 150-year-old font you have likely never heard of, and one you probably saw earlier today.

6YO: “Daddy draws squares and circles for his job.”

This logo is not exactly helping my case.

Quick lil intro: I'm Tony, a brand designer out of Newcastle, NSW. Love fussing over fonts, mid-century logos and web design.
