Chinese Rubberband TYPO

The Chinese Rubberband typo was designed by Hong Kong designer Che ManChing.

Here is what he had to say about this project:

“Years passed, Hong Kong experienced different storms. However, Hong Kong is still a prosperous economic country in the world. People in Hong Kong enjoy freedom in different aspects, and Hong Kong is still the ideal place to live for most of Hong Kong people. Just because we have been united together in Hong Kong through every storm.

My design chose five of the storms in Hong Kong at different times, such as; “SARS, economic recession in Hong Kong, we get through it with the spirit of never give up, Hong Kong people share the hard times together.” ，”1st of July, a million people took to the streets to defend our freedom of speech, united to fight for our freedom.”

Thanks to all Hong Kong people, who having a resilient and “never say die” spirit.

The generous design concept is to use “rubber band” to represent Hong Kong people can bend and can stretch. Use of rubbers in different colors interweaving the five key words of the five storms, expressing Hong Kong people united as one, regardless of good times and bad, are holding the resilient spirit. Hong Kong is our pride.”

Amnesty International Bank Notes

A poster was produced with all bank notes from some Latin American countries like Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina, Uruguay and Peru, between others. Each piece was realized over a Bank note of each country, which was illustrated by one representative artist, the profits were handed to Amnesty International.
Banknotes have been chosen as they are an embodiment of the dominant narrative of each nation and what is considered most important. Using bank notes as inspiration presents a platform for independent voice in approaching issues such as economic problems, exclusion and nationalism.{via}

Rebranding the Swedish Armed Forces

A project group of Hyper Island – Robbin Ingvarsson, Fredrik Holmberg, Kristina Herngren, Anke Buchta, Simon Schlüter and Waldemar Wegelin- rebranded the Swedish Armed Forces. They turned the usual function of camouflage around and used one of the basic shapes of geometry, the triangle, to create a new type of camouflage that is all about showing yourself. The goal is to reflect the diversity with the Armed Forces.

The focus for Swedish Army is peacekeeping abroad. In order to fulfill their missions they want to attract new talent – brain rather than muscles.

The challenge of the re-brand was to change the Swedish Armed Forces from a traditional defensive institute into a modern employer. {via}
