Hi Tom

don’t want to bombard the design community with our conversation – Ill drop you a line now.

Hi David

Thank you for that, and no worries about a credit.
Keep up the good work though – I do like this blog a lot.

Best

Hi Bob, thanks for the info. I’ve made an update to the post text, and if you want me to credit you in any other way, that’s no problem at all.

Hi Tom, no worries about going off topic. I’m always happy to offer an open forum, of sorts.

Hi Bob,

All good here thanks, I completely understood your frustration on this and certainly we have no intention of taking credit for work that is not ours, I hope you appreciate the misunderstanding. I’m glad this is cleared up.

I hope all is going well with you, do get in touch to let us know what you’re up to nowadays. Are you still in touch with Dom? (Sorry I know this is slightly off topic).

All the best,
Tom

Hi Tom

How’s it going?

Thank you for confirming this, and agreed, it’s not so relevant now, nonetheless it was my work and felt I should make the distinction.

You are obviously a very good designer and create some excellent work, and I just wanted to say that I do not intend to detract from that.

I wish you guys the best, and hopefully speak soon.

Best
Bob

Just to quantify Bobs statement, we make no claim on the Escape Studios Box marque. We did however work on the re-brand of Escape some years ago and reworked the typography of the logo (this used to be a digitally inspired piece of typography that rather dated the brand) and we also redrew the box mathematically.

At the time we fought strongly for a replacement of the box marque as we felt it too conceptual / abstract to represent the company’s services but were unsuccessful.

This does all seem rather irrelevant as the logo is no longer in use but I can understand Bobs frustration.

Hi
Just wanted to clarify, Stylo did not create the Escape Studios Logo, they had only designed their stationery and website.

Just for the record I had in fact designed the logo.

FYI – Escape rebranded last year with Spin studios.

The Surefire Logo appears to be the Hebrew letter from the Alphabet “Aleph”. It very much throws me into that state, if you are at all familiar with hebrew calligraphy you could see why.

Love their website, huge fan of simple sites that focus on their message and the work they’ve done.

Good stuff!!

Surefire should change their name (which is pedestrian) and keep their logo (which is brilliant).

Love the Surefire S/Flame! I can’t even begin to imagine how they came to that solution.

Great post, and great design studio.
