Yucca Studio

Yucca StudioYucca Studio is a multi-disciplinary creative boutique with a pleasant independent approach to web design. Part of their design philosophy comes from the subtraction of items, allowing the more important elements to rise to the top. It's an vital part of building a working minimalist and information-driven site that we can certainly appreciate. Covering print, branding and web design.... More

Werke Design Development

The genius behind the madness here is, Richard Miklos, a man who has certainly "werked" (sorry) on a sturdy and admirable portfolio. And succeeded. A techno-urban style. Deep in every portfolio area. Terrific Werke. And that's no pun.... More

Vingtneuf Degres

Otherwise known as 29 Degrees, this collective of artists and designers from Switzerland have a cohesive philosophy, as demostrated by their logo of interlocking hexagons forming a chain... a chain of design power! Framed in this fabulous site, and only in French, we see some great photos, but not much showing of the work they have finished. Yet, while it seems they are graffiti, industrial designers and toy designers, we actually suspect there's more print and graphic work being done here, and they've just been too busy to post it all. Well, we're curious already!... More

Transfer Studio

Transfer StudioTransfer is a small "logo-less" print design studio based in London. Why they have no logo on their site is a mystery to us – since they specialize in logos, typography and letterhead development for their tight group of clients. But no matter... Who says they need one anyway? Not when they create such powerful and clean design work for print, packaging, and even make some pretty slick looking websites too. Their entire portfolio, in fact, is a testament to the undeniable power of solid typographical skills... from a firm that has no logo—go figure.... More

the pseudoroom

the pseudoroomThese guys are young, cool, hip, renegade indy-rock designers. Think Keanu Reeves before "The Matrix." River Phoenix before the Viper Room. Their backgrounds include Electronic Media, Chicago Institute of the Arts, and smoking in high school. They are very, very, MAC. They will forgive PCers, but cannot condone your behavior. We'd like to meet these guys -- but not in a dark alley. Which is what they keep suggesting.... More

Suponix

suponix.somAt first glance of the Suponix site and its brushed steel background complete with a reflecting logo and 3D robots, we immediately thought of a single word; "polished". Delving into this Ukraine-based multimedia firm, this was confirmed by a showcase of highly refined and detailed design work. Apparently, Suponix is developing on a 3D cartoon among their other projects, such as web design, Flash, video production and 3D visualization services (read: industrial design). Their web work is quite special too... But to visit Suponix, you have to understand their obsession with 3D, shiny metallic textures, and especially modeling and animating robots. It's pretty cool stuff - definitely not your everyday web design firm, yet it's all nicely packaged, presented and very polished.... More

SUBAKT

Subakt. Loose translation: Very, very classy. Subakt caters to a distinctly highbrow culture. We gleaned this when we got their pitch in both English and French. The simple interface belies many colorful projects within, including several well-developed fashion campaigns, so keep looking around. C'est tres tres chic, n'est-ce pas?... More

St.Francis

St.FrancisA gorgeous little website for this Italian multimedia studio, St.Francis uses a very fun connect-the-dots motif to draw us into their portfolio. Their work spans from advertising to web, including print and packaging. We also enjoyed their pattern design area—which in our experience is a very overlooked field of design. Overall, a very nice treat – showing a fun and playful design mind is putting all the right pieces together.... More

Square Circle Media

Square Circle MediaSquare Circle is a full service creative multimedia agency with a staff of visual artists, developers and producers who interact to create award winning solutions for internet, broadcast, CD/DVD and print. They have one of the slicker 'zooming' flash sites out there, which lets you pan across a virtual work-table of goodies that you can interact with to discover all about the company. Definitely cutting close to the edge of what can be done in high-end web design.... More

Shynola

Here we go…another shy introvert trying to change the world. Based out of the UK, Shynola’s concentration of material stems from mostly video and music accompaniment. These visionaries demonstrate an utter lack of fearlessness reminiscent of their shyness-implying handle. Far from cautious, they represent an intriguing portrait of confrontational, hard-pressing brushstrokes that is the shining beacon for the art/media merger movement.... More

Scholz&Volkmer

Scholz&VolkmerA German firm that specializes in corporate branding? Say it isn't so! Yes, Scholz&Volkmer specialize in the design, and implementation of promotional and corporate websites, and they do a very good job at it. But, their specialty and drive is currently focused around live user interaction, and how they can integrate it with marketing for their clients. In the category of full-service interactive work S&V is strong in design, quite advanced in development, and very well-considered in execution... and certainly with 85 employees (at the time of this posting), and clients like Mercedez-Benz and Coca-Cola on their roster, who wouldn't want to get immersed in this live experience?...
