The 6 month full stop.

Here's our brand spanking new logo. It kind of says "yes" and "no" simultaneously, while overlaying a cheeky hint of "maybe".

Only kidding. We've kept it nice and simple. We wanted it to be the word nonsense presented clearly with no hint of 'nonsense' about the design (i.e. a back-to-front 's', a "wacky" font, or the like).

One feature we discussed at length was the full stop, which we included for 2 reasons:

Firstly it nods to the 'no nonsense' side of our character - we're not airy-fairy, precious 'conceptualists'. Our passion is to produce fantastic creative work that is rooted in the core values and ambition of the brands we work for. And secondly, so that in 6 months time when we proceed with the obligatory logo re-design, we can get rid of it - citing the need to reflect a marginal shift in our brand positioning.

Oh and we kind of like the colour. Comments welcome, good and bad.

I like it. Very smart. I can't really comment on the designiness of it (you need that Noisy Decent man to pop over and do that) but it's clean, clear, crisp. Nice.

I like it too- the no nonsense style is very good- and I like the plan for a redesign :)

The return of the serif! Yay. I love it guys. It feels fresh but also has age and maturity. A smidgen of DDB, not as pretentious as Goudy. And yes - plenty of opportunity to rebrand.

Well done
