It’s 10 years since we designed what became the first of the four album covers we’ve created for ex-Del Amitri man Justin Currie.

‘What is Love For’ was released on New York’s Ryko Records and Justin has just regained the rights to the recording allowing him to release a limited edition vinyl version, giving us the chance to see our art direction and Mark Seager’s photography in all its intended 12″ glory.

We created a brand new animated identity for leading Scottish production company – and long time collaborators – Sigma Films. The brief asked for symbols and animation that would ‘decode the DNA of film’. We took inspiration from the electro mechanical rotor Enigma Cipher, spinning circular shutters, and early pre-film animation techniques, resulting in an animated ‘film cipher’.

We got to see it on the big screen at the Edinburgh International Film Festival premiere of Sigma’s latest release, Outlaw King, which is now available to stream on Netflix.

We’re pleased to announce that Pawel Kudel is now a full-time member of the ISO team. He’s our R&D Technician and will continue to research emerging immersive technologies.

Pawel is a recent graduate of the Interaction Design course at the Glasgow School of Art where he collaborated with the Scottish Ballet and Dancer and Choreographer, Sophie Laplane, to create an interactive digital installation for the Scottish Ballet’s Digital Season, Under The Skin.

Welcome, Pawel!

ISO were approached by our good friends at Mhor in Perthshire to create stylish new websites for the entire Mhor.net family; Mhor 84, Mhor Bread, Mhor Fish and Mhor in France.

We worked closely with owners Tom and Lisa and their team to rebrand and design the new websites. It reflects the cool and sophisticated laid-back style.

If you get a chance, don’t miss the amazing Mhor Festival which happens once a year in Balquhidder.

We’ve just developed a bold, new identity for Jason Brunton and his new venture at Signal Sounds. The new venture, based in Glasgow, sells analogue and digital instruments with a heavy focus on modular synths. The graphic approach combines the ‘logical’ and ‘messy’ world of synth patchboards. A fully developed website will be coming in 2017.

Project page coming soon.

Arguably the best small club in the world has just got even better. After a three-month closure for refurb, Subbie is re-opening its brand new dazzle doors designed by ISO. The once concealed entrance has been transformed into a more zesty eye-catching threshold. The pattern is repeated inside, surrounding the chill out booths.

More info on the upcoming launch party can be seen on subclub.co.uk.
