The website launched as a side-project in 2010, a way to showcase branding work from studios worldwide. There are hundreds of projects in these pages, from designers in Mexico, Sweden, Vietnam, USA, France, Australia, Brazil, England… many more.
Courtesy of the kind people at US publisher Rockport, the accompanying book went on sale in 2019. Much respect to everyone who helped with that.
