You may have forgotten the fuss surrounding the launch of the logo,  missed the official Olympics 2012 posters or ignored graffiti artist MauMau‘s controversial Clown Town, but you can’t help but notice how London 2012 has been supported by a wealth of design treats by many of the UK’s finest creatives.

For us it started with the torch, as we’ve always loved Barber & Osgerby‘s stuff so we’re thrilled that their torch was such a triumph. We loved seeing HelloVon’s Paralympic Games illustrations on the tube and were moved by Director Tom Tagholm‘s powerful Meet the Superhumans for Channel 4.  There’s been bundles of good shots of Team GB, but I think it’s fashion glossy favourite and Londoner Jonathan Glynn-Smith that really captures the stars of the games at their super finest.

All homegrown and bang on top of their game in the build up to a very good-looking Olympics.
We heart London 2012.

Oh my days. We make no secret of our obsession with all things bird, so we were floored by these stunning shots from London based photographer Luke Stephenson.

His latest labour of love “The Incomplete History of Show Birds”  is a collection of portraits grown from spending the last 2 years in the world of prize bird breeders. An absolute fascinating collection from the exotic to the humble, each perfectly paired with a complimentary background colour, that really shows off their personality. You can’t help but smile.

Finding these has made my day and we’re keeping our fingers crossed for a book. Tweet tweet!

London based Taylor’s approach is un-pretentious and honest. Her portfolio is divided into “I love” and “I do” for engagement and wedding photography and really seems to capture the heart of British couples today. Taylor’s philosophy is that there “is beauty in everything and everyone” and it shows with a very modern, but hearty and positive feel.

There is no denying that London based photographer, Adrian Samson takes a very good photo… but I think we all fell a bit in love at F&V when we saw his shots of Lily and Jeffrey. :-)
