'Fine line between Dark and Beautiful'

As always, this week we have some very exciting news to share with you. Higher Ground have had the opportunity to work with a fresh new band called 'Meisha'. You can listen to some of their songs on their MySpace page.

When we first met them, this self-proclaimed Alternative/Trip Hop/Electro band, signed by EMI Records (!!), were after a new logo. The brief was: something simple with a lot of impact - something similar to the logos of Morcheeba, Portishead and Massive Attack.

We let our design team loose and the final product is below - what do you think?

We are also going to be working with Meisha on their new music video (again !!) in the coming weeks (watch this space). The star of opportunity twinkles on the horizon....

Icing On The Cake

It’s always a bit strange to see a piece of your work implemented in another medium. You know the type of thing I mean – your poster design as an animated banner, a character sketch as a full-size mascot… or, as in our case, a logo as the icing on a birthday cake.


We’d recently designed the below logo for the 10th birthday of an investment management consultancy firm and imagine our surprise when it was used not only for invitations and name tags as we expected, but also on the cake! Have a look at the original and ‘sugary’ logo and let us know what you think.

Could this mark the beginning of Higher Ground Baking…?
