Year in review 2018


Here's my summary of identities introduced during 2018. It includes about 100 noteworthy and/or interesting projects compiled from a list of more than 600 entries collected over the past year.

Airlines

2018 was a slow year for airline rebrands, so it's a bit weird to start with them, but you have to start somewhere.
