TRÜF Does Beautiful Branding Like Nobody’s Business
[Natasha Jen: designer, thinker, maker, educator, partner at Pentagram— and your HOW Logo Design Awards judge this year!] The creatives at TRÜF say that they’re obsessed with designing better brands—and with decades of marketing expertise from New York and LA’s top ad agencies, these award-winning designers know how to deliver. A couple of years back, we quoted TRÜF cofounder and creative director Adam Goldberg as saying that unicorn clients don’t come around all that often. But after hearing about the team’s latest work, we’re not so convinced that’s the case when you’re as talented as the folks at TRÜF. The creatives recently completed a branding project for the team at the University of California Humanities Research Institute (UCHRI), who asked the studio to brand their new “Horizons of the Humanities” (HoH) initiative. “We were a little wary that an institution would really want to push the boundaries of design,” Goldberg says.

The UK's best design studios revealed
Earlier this year, the Computer Arts team polled almost 80 top designers, creative directors and studio founders from all across the UK to discover which industry peers they most revere, respect and in some cases envy, to produce the third-annual UK Studio Rankings.
