Thames & Hudson’s new identity takes us back to its river-themed roots

Founded in 1942 by Walter and Eva Neurath, Thames & Hudson’s misson was to create a ‘museum without walls’ and open up the world of art to a wider audience. Today, the publisher is still a family-owned business, with over 2,000 books in print and various offices and subsidiaries across the globe.

To mark the relaunch of its famous pocket-sized World of Art book series, which first launched in 1958 and spans over 300 titles, the publisher commissioned Pentagram partner Harry Pearce to reimagine its visual identity.

“The original inspiration for the Thames & Hudson visual identity was two dolphins swimming east to west respectively and the initial letters of the two rivers referenced in the name,” says Pearce. “This new identity is part modernisation and part restoration of the brand.”

Pearce needed to design something that would work across a number of applications in print and digital, and at a range of sizes, from book spines to banners. The end result is a new workmark and a reworked version of the original Thames & Hudson cartouche, comprising a bespoke T&H monogram and the interlocking dolphins symbol.

The cartouche can be used alone or in place of the logotype and symbol, and appears on sales and marketing materials, the title pages of books and online, as well as on the cover of the publisher’s biannual catalogue, which has also been redesigned.

Chosen for its “bookish qualities”, Plantain is used for the catalogue’s body copy, with Neue Haas Unica was chosen as a secondary typeface. A colour palette of cool and warm greys was inspired by an original Thames & Hudson mosaic, which can still be found at the publisher’s London office.

Much like fellow Pentagram partner Angus Hyland’s recent rebrand of publisher DK, it’s a subtle and more digital-friendly take on a historic piece of branding, and one which hopefully leaves Thames & Hudson better equipped to adapt to the modern face of publishing.

The 18 Best Things to See and Do in Oslo

Image
Posted : 6/26/2020 | June 26th, 2020 Balancing natural beauty, historic architecture, and a modern flair, Oslo , Norway’s beautiful capital, is a city that punches well above its weight. It’s small but bursting with things to do: there are countless museums, spacious parks, and delicious restaurants to keep you busy. It’s close to numerous forests with hiking and biking trails, and there are lots of places to swim in the summer too. However, since it’s expensive, a lot of travelers pass Oslo by. While a visit will certainly eat into your budget, Oslo is definitely worth a couple of days. To help show precisely why you should add it to your itinerary, here are my favorite things to see and do in Oslo:   1. Take a Free Walking Tour I always start my trips off with a free walking tour. They’re a budget-friendly way to see the main sights, learn a little history, meet other travelers, and get access to an expert local guide who can answer all my questions. Free Tour Oslo organ...

Practical Action rebrands to show “how small actions can change the big picture”

Image
NB Studio has created a new identity for Practical Action, a UK development organisation. Practical Action was established in 1966 with the aim of creating appropriate technologies for developing regions of the world. It works primarily in Eastern and Southern Africa, South Asia and Latin America. It was founded by economist and philosopher Fritz Schumacher whose book, Small is Beautiful, champions the concept that small changes can empower people more than big ones. Practical Action’s aim is to provide sustainable technologies – systems that countries can accommodate with their existing resources – instead of providing large-scale aid that cannot be easily sustained. The charity was originally called Intermediate Technology Development Group but was changed to Practical Action in 2005. “Ingenuity People” Nick Finney, founder and creative director at NB Studio, says that the brand update aims to clarify the charity’s function. One of the problems with its previous names, Finne...

The legacy of Life magazine’s images celebrated in new show

Image
When Life magazine was re-launched by magazine magnate Henry Luce in 1936, the idea was to put photojournalism at the forefront and publish only photography-led stories. Readers soon became accustomed to seeing images from around the world that gave them the kind of first-hand insight they’d never previously had. At one point it was selling 13.8 million copies a week, and in its lifetime the magazine commissioned more than 120,000 stories and 10 million photographs. Life was published up until 2000, and to celebrate the contributions the magazine made to documentary photography and photojournalism, Atlas Gallery in London is exhibiting a selection of some of the magazine’s most iconic and influential photographs.
