Young

Young are a new design studio in Manchester. They’ve just launched their new site this week which is basic and elegant. Also check out their flickr stream here.

four23 / The Sharp Project

Our Mancunian friends at four23 dropped us a line about an awesome new project they’ve just completed. They tell us, “We’ve just completed for a visual identity huge new digital media production complex in Manchester, called The Sharp Project. What we have created is no ordinary logo - it’s a piece of generative art that changes with the data flow in and out of the building, one that will never appear the same twice.”

“The thinking behind the dynamic identity came from the realisation that a static logo would never be fitting for a building that will live and breathe 24/7, one that will thrive on collaboration and innovation. Our identity will evolve and develop, reflecting the activity within The Sharp Project.”

Mark Studio

Way, way back in the nascence of Dirty Mouse, we posted about Mark Studio. We liked them then, but when our pals at FFF posted about them today, we were reminded about how good their portfolio is. So, just to refresh your brains (if you didn’t see it on FFF) have a look at their stuff.

four23

four23 are a multidisciplinary creative studio, based in Manchester, UK who work with a pretty damn fine client list. Not content with working with these big guns, they also do their own self initiated stuff. As Kate from four23 tells us, “One of (these projects) is our own licensed coffeehouse, which we opened last week, below our Manchester studio.” Cor! Also, check out their steel identity pictured above.

Adrian Newell

Sometime last year we featured Adrian Newell, but since then he’s been working in London, updated and re-designed his portfolio, and moved back oop north to Manchester. He tells us he’s looking for a new position, but given he has a really complete portfolio, we don’t think he’ll have to look for long.
