40 years of the TypoCircle
In 1976, Maggie Lewis, a well-respected typographer decided that her skills were under-represented within the advertising industry. So she created a platform for people in her field to share their knowledge, work, and ideas. This platform was originally known as the Type Directors Club London, later to become the Typographic Circle. I wonder how lofty Maggie’s ambitions actually were? I’m sure she’d be astounded to see such an incredible history of speakers, from such a wide range of creative backgrounds.
This year, the TypoCircle turns 40 years old, and to celebrate, we’re holding an exhibition.
Working with our good friends at Sutherl& Studio, Mr Jon Bateson, and of course the committee, NB have been busy pulling together 40 years of TypoCircle posters and Circulars, as well as some incredible ephemera, diligently squirrelled away by past committee members for such an occasion as this.
The anniversary is also being marked by officially changing the name from The Typographic Circle to our more commonly known descriptor ‘the TypoCircle’. Together with Studio Sutherl& and Jon Bateson we have designed a new logo which has now been crafted to perfection by Bruno Maag.
A publication comprising of three parts has been produced to support the exhibition. The first section features an essay by the wonderful Lynda Relph-knight based on incredible research from TypoCircle’s very own Sallyanne Theodosiou. The second is dedicated to spreads from all of the Circulars produced by Domenic Lippa and his team at Pentagram. And the final section contains 40 individual posters from the TypoCircle archive. Copies of this book will be available at the show.
In typical TypoCircle style we’ve rallied our friends to put on what should be, a fantastic show. Now is as good a time as ever to say a big thank-you to all those involved, for giving so much of their time, resources and effort. I for one, am very proud to be part of committee as TypoCircle enters its 41st year.
Alan will be saying thank-you a few hundred more times on the night, but for now, you know who you are!

The Brand Identity
Getting the right idea...
A great idea. That spark, that moment when you know you've got something right, that 'Smile in the Mind'. My Foundation Degree in Graphic Design at Somerset College was a strongly ideas based course. My tutors Rob Watts and Malcolm Swatridge (Co-Founder of The Partners) drummed this into us from day one. It's always about the idea first, get that right then focus on the design. Form follows function, the number one rule from the Bauhaus. As eager students wanting to learn technique and skill we just wanted to get onto the Macs and start designing. However in our first term, we weren't allowed anywhere near one. A bold move by the tutors? A clever one more like. How wrong we were and how right they were. With hindsight looking back now I've a few years under my belt as a Graphic Designer I am so grateful that this is the way we were taught. Whenever I am given a new brief I'm instantly excited, I look forward to getting that designers buzz, that moment after lots of research when you get a great idea in your mind. Having not been allowed on a Mac for the first term, we could only become engrossed in getting our idea right. If it wasn't a good idea it didn't matter how prettily we dressed it up, it just wouldn't have the same or more importantly the right impact for what we wanted it to achieve. When we entered the second term and were allowed to create visuals on the Macs our first thoughts were to get the idea right before we even sat down at one. Their plan had worked, none of us went near one until a clever idea popped into our heads. I've been to quite a few talks now, The TypoCircle, The Glug, D&AD and more. Recently I attended a talk hosted by Dave Trott at the TypoCircle. There was no on screen presentation about the work he had done, instead he sat and chatted to us for over an hour about ideas and thinking creatively, what he calls 'Predatory Thinking'. I found this incredibly refreshing to hear his many stories which made us rethink how we think. I bought his book and had finished it within two days. It's all about the ideas. Branding, advertising, it's a medium we encounter many times over on a daily basis. We can't avoid it. Yet which ones from yesterday do you actually remember? I bet it's the one that had an idea to it, not just something that looked nice. It has become apparent to me that sometimes that ideas moment never seems never to have occurred with some of the designs I see when I'm out and about, and as a designer this annoys me. Designs that have no idea behind them. A logo, a colour scheme but no brand experience. As Simon Manchipp says, it's 'blanding, not branding'. Given the opportunity with a new project, as designers it is our job to find that clever, unique pin point idea for a brand, not just to create something pretty. When rushed for time of course this can be a challenge but still, let's take that time to search for that 'idea' rather than just jumping straight on a Mac to prettify a logo or mock up an advert. Clients of course need to realise this also. It's about the idea, the experience of the brand. Cleverness.

Typocircle 26 March 2012 —
We've just designed the poster (and name) for the upcoming Typographic Circle event: Five Big Names in Type.
The Typo Circle is a not-for-profit organisation run entirely by volunteers, that brings together anyone with an interest in type and typography. It's of particular interest to everyone here at NB as Creative Director Alan Dye is a member of the committee.
The talk is billed as "a lively, any questions-style debate with a panel of the very best in typography" and chaired by Lynda Relph-Knight.
Bruno Maag, Henrik Kubel, Freda Sack, Phil Baines and Simon Dixon are the panel that will tell us what inspires them, followed by a lively and informative debate with questions from the audience.
Each designer's name is type-set by themselves in a typeface designed by them. The posters were expertly printed by Gavin Martin Colournet on five shades of GF Smith's Colorplan.
So come along, say hello and arm yourself with questions – and maybe walk away with a poster.
