I try to avoid posting wedding invites purely because their designs are so subjective - and there are also only so many variations on the same theme before things just go around in circles. This aside, the letterpress work on these wedding invites is solid stuff. Check out more shots of them here.

The Love 2 Bake packaging is one of those frustrating ‘surely I could have done that’ package designs. The small details (such as the negative space heart/ small application of colour represented each of the cookie flavour ingredients / great typesetting) alongside the efficient amount of physical packaging combine to create a great final product. Who knows how the cookies even taste… Put together by agency DesignBridge

Season 2 of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire kicked off again a few weeks ago, and to celebrate the occasion design agency One Trick Pony created this six page prohibition era themed newspaper in order to send out some alcoholic christmas gifts wrapped secretly inside. It’s not perfect by any means, but it’s fun and has an fun story sitting around it. Apparantly if you live in America you can order a copy of the paper HERE (without alcohol) for free. Roll on Sunday and the next episode…

Art director and Graphic Designer Nikolaj Kledzik worked on the branding identity for French styles patissierie Xoko. The images over at his site show how the identity is strictly applied across all experiences in the store, even the physical layout of the room. Despite there always being a danger of over-doing and over-applying of the identity this one  really benefits from the minimal colour palette and shapes - simplify/refine and all that. See all the shots here.

London design Agency Smith & Milton are behind the rebranding of UK bread company Warburtons. Subtle in application (check those ligatures!) with a simple but great move-up in creating greater distinction between the different kinds of bread (and what you’d want different kinds of bread for), as well as stepping away from the well known ‘family bread emblem’ approach to packaging of this nature. Take a look at the whole rebrand here and here.

I’ve blogged ‘People Too’ before with their wonderfully executed papercraft constructions but I encountered this project of theirs staying strictly on the page, and illustrating over old sheet music. An amazing amount of detail, attention and care has gone into each. Check out more of the project here.

Moving Brands put together this new refocussed design of the Wikipedia brand. On the surface it looks fairly plain but I’d recommend taking a look and seeing how the logo comes a bit more to life depending on what kind of pages you’re looking at. Check it out here.
