James Kape, Speed Republic

Xavier Encinas — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 10:36:02 +0000

Nice identity work by James Kape.

Speed Republic is a small start-up company specializing in trade and the resale of hi-end motor vehicles in South Africa.

The brief was simple, to create a clean and contemporary symbol that was to be applied to a variety of collateral as needed. The origin of the final mark stems from the trafficking symbol “No limit”. This reference was intended as a tribute to both the industry which it represents as well as the greater idea that Speed Republic are not in short supply of limited edition vehicles.

Mattias Sahlén, Booksters

Xavier Encinas — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 14:28:27 +0000

First audiobooks and then portable reading devices. What ever happened to the original greatness of a written text – the art of finely adjusted characters, placed on natural pieces of paper?

As a retrogressive reaction to the technology development in the world today, Mattias Sahlén made these not-suitable-for-reading-on-the-bus booksters, where written words will remain written. They’ll not get digitialized and hidden away in some music-flipping-pod-slash-picture-showing-browsing-machine.

Instead, he took it back to where it all began. With characters old school printed on old school pieces of paper. And posteralized the whole shebang.
