The Art Lounge

Studio MIKMIK recently created the identity and print for The Art Lounge, "A homely place to meet up with friends, enjoy great music and unwind".

The Art Lounge is on Bank Holiday Monday (30th August) at Caroline Street Social Club in Saltaire. The Housekeeping Society, fresh from their recent live performance on BBC Raw, will be supplying the music along with support acts and a DJ.

If you're in the neighbourhood then drop by for a relaxing end to the Bank Holiday weekend.

Developing the brand for Architecture519

Studio MIKMIK is currently working with Architecture519, formerly DG3 (Design Group 3), on the development of their identity and printed materials. The first stage of the project was a refresh to their existing logotype before moving on to project brochures and proposal documents. The revised logotype can be seen here and more images will be added to the SMM site soon...

Creative, cultural, community, space

The Kirkgate Centre is a 'creative, cultural, community, space' located in an old school house in Shipley, West Yorkshire. The Kirkgate Centre approached Studio MIKMIK to create an identity for the centre that referenced the history of the building. The marque shown on the right is stylised from a prominent carved stone window detail that bookends the building. The full identity and printed material will be added to the SMM site soon...

Subtle brand beginnings for Dot the Jewellers

Dot the Jewellers is a long established, bespoke jeweller specialising in innovative, hand crafted designs. With no existing brand the project was a blank canvas and the brief was to create a subtle, clean, elegant identity that befitted the nature of the business. Dot is still a work in progress but with some elements falling into place we thought it was worth a sneaky peak...

Special Qualities, Special Expreiences

Studio MIKMIK is currently working with the Yorkshire Dales National Park on the design of their Special Qualities, Special Experiences report. The 120 page report focusses on the unique aspects of the National Park and outlines strategies for promoting and aiding recreation and tourism.

Studio MIKMIK likes to keep it local

Studio MIKMIK has recently completed the identity for the 'Love Local, Shop Saltaire' campaign project being orchestrated by Magic Number Three in Saltaire.

The project aims to promote shopping locally in the run-up to Christmas 2009 and beyond.

The identity will span window graphics, newsletters, promotions and eventually an online hub for local businesses.

More to come soon...
