Trevor Sorbie Manchester Salon - Launch Party
Monday January 12, 2009 –TYPOCOM were asked to create the visual style and branding for the launch of the new Trevor Sorbie hair salon in Manchester. Drawing inspiration from the new state-of-the-art salon, which is evocative of the foyer of a chic five-star hotel, a range of material was produced which reflects this slick and sophisticated approach.
An invitation and gift card, printed on a luxurious tactile paper with the information foil-blocked for additional distinction, were created for the official launch party. The opulent gift cards were packaged in a custom-made envelope produced from the same material, and were individually numbered for each unique guest. Each envelope was sealed with a branded Trevor Sorbie sticker.

Cheshire West & Chester
Wednesday September 24, 2008 –We recently entered a competition held by Cheshire West & Chester Council to create new identity with a £500 prize. TYPOCOM were eventually shortlisted into a final four and voting is currently taking place on the website below. Please see below for our submission and the rationale behind it.
Our fresh and innovative logo represents the coming together of the six core towns of Cheshire West and Chester. Chester, Frodsham, Neston, Ellesmere Port, Northwich and Winsford are each represented with their own vivid colour - joining and merging together - symbolic of the joint partnership and forward thinking views of the council, the towns’ people and their culture. As the icon is so visually strong, the typeface (Hoefler Text) has been chosen to give the logo a balanced weight and structure. The traditional typeface is representative of the district’s historic significance and heritage, and by combining this with a contemporary palette of colours and shapes, creates a fresh, dynamic, forward looking brand identity.
UHSM: University Hospital Manchester
Wednesday September 24, 2008 –TYPOCOM have created a new installation for the University Hospital of South Manchester.
The Manchester design studio was commissioned to make the image which runs the 10 metres along the main outpatients corridor - the main thoroughfair of the hospital.
Creative director Dan Taylor said: “We wanted to create a display which was bold enough for people to momentarily glance at to take in the main facts, or to stop and read the more detailed information.”
The large format prints are matt coated, with additional text and imagery raised off the background and encased behind a high gloss finish.
“It was important that the display communicated our world-class services in a clear and concise way, and Typocom have interpreted this superbly. The contrast of the raised prints from the background, along with the life-size imagery of UHSM staff members, really makes people stop and take note of the display and the information contained within it,” added Rachel Blenkinsop, the hospital’s communications manager.
