Golden Globe Race 2022

SPONSORSHIP CALL FOR IAN HERBERT-JONES

A challenge like no other: a nine-month 30,000 nautical mile non-stop, solo circumnavigation, starting in September 2022.

My visit to the UK 2021 Southampton International Boat Show proved to be more interesting than I had expected. I met solo skipper Ian Herbert-Jones who was aboard his yacht Puffin to highlight his entry to the most epic adventure that will pitch his ocean yacht and importantly himself against some of the world's most hostile environments with no outside assistance. Remaining true to the image of the original 1968 Sunday Times Golden Globe Race won by renown Sir Robert Knox Jonnston. Working with custom lettering associate Chris Weir we created an illustrative Epic Icon Puffin logo to assist Ian on his way.

Avoiding reversal logos looking like negatives

Retaining craft clarity in a reversal version is crucial

A client will often require further artwork versions of a solid dark line logo in order for the brand logo to feature on a dark background. Where a client may create a light on dark artwork version just by reversing the dark on light artwork it will often appear unsuitable, as it can appear like a negative of the former artwork.

Classic brand icons seen in abundance at Goodwood Revival

Beautiful heritage classics

I am continually inspired by what I see around me. A piece of sculpture beautifully crafted, defined in shape by light and shade can stimulate endless ideas. Goodwood Revival offers a great local resource to explore beautiful heritage classic car brands.
