Johnson Banks is a british graphic designer who has designer multiple logos such as the emblem of the city which is a group of logo designs for the city of London.
Also like Herb Lubalin has created double meaning logos and a very smart one is such of his 'shelter' design in which the h's shoulder is shaped pointy instead of a smooth curve in order for it look like a shelter. This logo is for a homeless campaign charity.
Herb Lubalin was an extraordinary logo designer who first explored type faces rather than genius logo designs with double meanings. His best from a list of many was his 'Mother&Child' logo design.


Here is some of his other pieces work including great pieces like 'families' and 'marriage'.

PETER GRUNDY

His work is very blocky with a bright colour scale to emphasise the image he creates from different objects. His work looks simple but is yet quite complex. i decided to have a go at some of his work in the theme of a the 'metro map'. I took inspiration from his work on roads by him creating figures from many different important or famous objects.

Greenwashing



Greenwashing is a promotional lie to much of the population of people who are convinced that the thing they are using and buying is healthier than anything else and that the product is green which as such would help the community and for a healthier life. The way they do this is that they stretch the truth by adding a promotional cover up to hide their indecent trade to favour them mainly for business and money. 


Some businesses are genuinely committed to making the world a better, greener place. But for too many other businesses, environmentalism is little more than a convenient slogan. Buy our products, they say, and you will end global warming, improve air quality, and save the oceans. At best these statements stretch the truth and at worst they help conceal corporate behaviour that is environmentally harmful by any means.

This is part of Gavin Lucas' work on 'The Layzell Brothers'. This is his work in the creative review of which he has been rewarded by the front cover for his illustration for a 60s psychedelia-influenced film for Adam Buxton. This is his article in te creative review. 


I really like this work due to its unique quirky affect on the work and really matches Adam Buxtons work. I also like the sharp colours and the use of patterns.
