Urban Roots
Sassen Design has been asked by TreeMedia to use some of our urban decay photography for their independent documentary, Urban Roots, about the positive urban farming movement in Detroit. The photos will be used to depict urban decay from all over the world
We were only to happy to say yes and these are some of the images they have chosen.
Wolda design award
Sassen Design has been awarded with the 2010 internationally recognised Wolda design award for the logo we created for our client C111.
Horrible Logo
What does a horrible $5 logo look like? It looks alot like this.
An oil well inspired Sassen Design logo from www.horriblelogos.com. I’ll overlook that the second half of the business name was somehow excluded.
The kind words from Horrible Logos ‘Thanks for the beer money Sassen Design! I hope you hate your new horrible logo as much as I hated making it’.
The Mould Doctor
Sassen Design has completed the logo design for The Mould Doctor. The Mould Doctor focuses on three key areas when eliminating mould – Inspect, Correct and Protect. This is reflected in the logo with the three ticks and the tag line.
Sassen Design featured in the book ‘Logo’
The logo designed by Sassen Design for Tsuami Records is featured in the book ‘Logo‘ by Michael Evamy.
Logo showcases the greatest logos in use today. Whether it is the product of a flash of inspiration or a flood of research, the logo remains one of the most powerful resources available to organizations for winning the attention of a global, time-poor audience.
Umläuts
Does life become better with umlauts? More importantly could existing logos look better with umlauts? Also known as rock dots and used in band logos such as Motörhead and Mötley Crüe, umlauts are the two dots placed over a letter, most commonly a vowel. Although this would change the meaning and possibly the pronunciation of the word this post is all about aesthetics of umlauts. Sassen Design presents a variety of logos from the 1980s to present with some double dot lövin’.
Dive Works trade show posters
A series of three posters created for Dive Works. Each poster is 715 x 1760mm and has been designed especially for Dive Works to display on the wall of their booth at a trade show.
Discrimination Posters
Sassen Design has just completed a series of three posters for the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission. The posters present a serious message in a format thats easy to understand in which the information is broken down into separate easy to read sections.
Bodhi Landscapes flyer
A promotional DL flyer created for Bodhi Landscapes. The company logo has been printed in a metallic silver to make the flyer that extra special.
10,000+ views
Woo hoo! The Sassen Design Flickr account has now passed 10,000+ views and counting. 12,273 views on 360 images to be exact. Its a bit hard to see in the screen grab – the page views is circled in red. The Flickr account has a range of images from decaying abandoned building taken around Melbourne (a new obsession) to New Zealand holiday happy snaps.
End of Financial Year poster
Loosen your tie, let down your hair and end your financial year in Transit. Sassen Design created this large format poster for Transits end of financial year celebration event.
Dogs and cushions
Its always nice being able to step away from the computer and still be creative. After embarking on a short screening printing course at CAE (highly recommended) we were given free reign to screen print onto what would fit under a screen in the last class. With this in mind I picked up a few cushions, reworked the dog image from a photo I had taken and silk screened away.
Looking back to Escape Design
After stepping into the time machine I came across the very first Sassen Design website from 2004 , know as Escape Design as the time. The hero images on each page are all Lomo images taken around Melbourne, no affordable consumer digital cameras back then .
The site came complete with plenty of tables and font tags and a guest book – does anyone use guestbook nowadays on website ??. The one thing that hasn’t changed is the use of large hero images. The new Sassen Design website features hero images on the homepage.
