Very Own Studio

Today marks fifteen years since Very Own Studio came to life. It’s been a journey! But I’m proud to have dedicated this time to building a practice that reflects my values and love of design. Here’s to the future. Mark. x

The Qatar World Cup logo always reminded me of an ouroboros (the symbol of a snake eating its own tail) rather than the woolen shawl traditional the region that it is based on. But perhaps that perception was coloured by the conversation around the treatment of migrant workers.

The new 2026 World Cup logo is quite a departure from the usual theme.

Early start heading north to BCNMCR with @44media and @LewieEvans. If you’re going, it’d be great to say hello. @studiodbd

One of Brighton and Hove’s many urban foxes.

Boom, 30 seconds in again.

Has @twitter changed the way it handles videos? Recently, every single one is buffering, both on desktop and mobile - with sufficient download speeds. Suspiciously, a two minute clip buffers at exactly 0:30, 1:00 and 1:30 - so could be some sort of pre-load issue, maybe?

Has anyone seen the film DUNC?

Can anyone enlighten us on what’s going on with the letters E and R in this logo?
