  I can see why a lot of their stuff would be a graphic designer's wet dream - but, frankly, beyond a couple of the identities, I really dislike most of it.

  It's cold, artsy and pretentious - perhaps I'm vastly underestimating Joe Public, but I can't see it being that commercially relevant.

  But, I guess, that's not the point, is it?

  Best of luck to them though - they'll certainly please their in-crowd.

  Commercially relevant?!

  • imo, obviously.
    – Nairn1/7

    What I mean is "I think it'd turn a lot of normal, design- ignorant people off" is all.
    That probably includes me.– Nairn2/7

    I disagree. Their clients are obviously aware of what they're buying.– Anders3/7

    For sure, but such clients (for the most part) aim at a particular arty band of consumer. No bad thing.– Nairn4/7

    Just, for the most part, not my cup of tea, is all. Even the 'Valio' work, which I love and think is quite commercial, is arty– Nairn5/7

    out there in terms of what an average consumer would expect to see on their shelf. It's good to challenge - but it's a fine line– Nairn6/7

    (FFS 4 LINE NOTES!)
    ..fine line to tread, which I think a lot of their work oversteps.– Nairn7/7

  blah blah blah

  • How stupid of me to question.
    I am clearly not their target demographic. I'm fine with that - can't you be too?– Nairn1/2

  Syrup Helsinki was a great name. The new one sounds like a boring perfume.

  • I do like the old name more. Easier to remember too.– Jaline1/2

    The huge browser size (why?) aside, I have always liked the Syrup family's work.– Jaline2/2

  meh.

  I hate to be cynical, but 2 or 5 fewer colours per design would make this better. Just because they’re in the Pantone book doesn’t mean you have to use them all.

  have to agree with KLD on that one... I'm am utterly surprised that Syrup was cool with them using the same pixel font and same exact navigational structure.

  • I guess they just renamed the studio, my bad– kld

  MASSIVE TIMELINE

  Syrup Helsinki to Become Kokoro & Moi

  Design agency Syrup Helsinki is changing its name.

  The new name, Kokoro & Moi, will be in use as of 4 January 2008.

  There are two acquisitions behind the name change: Syrup Helsinki's parent company, the New York-based Syrup LLC, has been acquired by the international digital agency network LBI International AB, and Syrup Helsinki founders Teemu Suviala and Antti Hinkula have acquired the whole share capital of Syrup Oy.

  "We had two options: either transfer to work for a big international chain and relocate to Amsterdam or New York or establish an agency that collaborates closely with this chain but remains wholly independent.

  We chose the independent path," says Teemu Suviala.

  "This new ownership arrangement allows us to operate more flexibly in our markets in the United States, Europe and Japan.

  It also ensures that our design competence remains at the disposal of all our clients."

  The design agency Kokoro & Moi specialises in brand, corporate and product identities, creative direction, art direction, graphic design and consultancy.

  Their innovative expertise covers both traditional and digital channels.

  Their work is ahead of its time, so no, it's not commercially relevant now, but maybe in 10 years it will be.

  • If graphic design looks like this 10 years from now, we're fucked.– non
