He says, ‘In its simplest form its based on a keyboard typeface.’

    It’s great to see so much creativity in the North of England! A fantastic idea and design! Working for an art gallery in the North West – http://www.ascotstudios.com – it makes me very happy to see that there is not only innovative design and originality in London, but also in the North West. Lets keep promoting it!

    These are neatly thought identity ideas. Keyboard typeface is simple, yet a proven approach by branding consultants to make the brand visible. Thanks for sharing!
