Square Mile Food Bank’s logo highlights that food poverty is a modern day problem

Design studio Avidd has created the logo for the first food bank in London’s square mile.

Square Mile Food Bank is run by volunteers, and provides food for those in need within the city of London, and was established this year as coronavirus added new pressures to those in need.

While it is known primarily for its financial industry, around 8,000 people live in the City of London. The food bank operates across the Barbican, Golden Lion estate and Portsoken ward near the Tower Hamlets border. The first donations were collected in late March.

The bright green logo is a play on one of the Square Mile’s most recognisable buildings, 30 St Mary Axe – known informally as The Gherkin. The office block was opened in 2004.

David Podmore, director of Avidd, says that the logo was chosen as it combines an “iconic landmark and food reference” at the same time.

“We wanted a logo that gave the food bank a sense of place,” he continues. “It’s incredible that such a wealthy area should need such a thing so highlighting the location was key – it reminds us all that this is a very current problem that is everywhere.”

He says: “We added the Established 2020 detail to remind people that this is a modern day problem and not a charity started in Victorian London.”

They typeface used is Brandon Grotesque, which is “serious” but also has a “softness with its rounded corners”. The green colour palette is an attempt to “add in a few more vibrant colours so the logo wasn’t dull and austere”.

Podmore adds that there is a duality to the colour choice: “Green is also a colour of finance, which the city is famous for, but also a colour of hope, which the food bank is offering people needing its support.”

The logo was created as part of the studio’s Design Donation scheme, where it offers charities and not-for-profits a day’s free design work.

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.
