GF Smith's Radical Rebrand: How TEMPLO brought a challenger spirit to the iconic paper company 👀 🚀

For over a century, GF Smith has been a respected name in the world of premium paper – a brand woven into the fabric of the creative industries, supplying generations of designers, artists, and makers with beautifully crafted paper stocks. But even the most established brands must evolve.

Enter TEMPLO, the design studio tasked with reimagining GF Smith's identity for a new era defined by fluidity, inclusivity, and a bold rethinking of tradition - with quite a dramatic departure from GF Smith's previous identity. Where the 2014 iteration leaned into a monochrome aesthetic and a heritage-focused narrative, TEMPLO's approach injects colour, movement, and a distinctly human touch.

The new identity is designed not just for longevity but also for adaptability—a vital shift in an industry where brands compete to thrive in both digital and physical spaces.

The Super Bowl has long been more than just a football game—it's a cultural phenomenon that transforms advertising into an art form. From Apple's groundbreaking 1984 commercial to Coca-Cola's iconic Mean Joe Greene spot, the big game has given us some of the most memorable moments in marketing history. Super Bowl LVIX continues this tradition, with brands pulling out all the stops to capture the attention of over 123 million viewers.

Brands understand that Super Bowl advertising is a high-stakes creative battlefield where they truly need to bring their A-game. With each 30-second spot costing around $7 million, companies invest not just money but extensive creative energy into crafting messages that will resonate long after the final whistle.

In our 2025 roundup, we've plucked out the cream of this year's crop. Each of these ads showcases the creativity, humour and occasional depth that make Super Bowl commercials a cultural event all their own. From nostalgic movie recreations to social commentary, they all prove that a 30-second spot can be so much more than just a sales pitch—it can be art, entertainment, and a reflection of a shared cultural moment.

Morning all. We begin with... Lisa Larson’s Birds 1967 collection takes flight once again! 🕊️ Originally designed in the swinging sixties and inspired by bold colours, flower power, and vibrant folk art, these exquisite wooden birds have been brought back to life by Design House Stockholm.

Crafted from solid beech wood and hand-painted with striking patterns, each bird celebrates artistry, nostalgia, and Scandinavian craftsmanship.

The first six birds landed in 2024, with more joining the flock this year. Which one is your favourite? 🖤🐦👀
