What the FFF?

Founded in 2005 by an ever growing group of young designers and vagabonds eager to collect and share the best design work they came across, FormFiftyFive soon became an international showcase of creative work.

Although the site was doing a great job at sparking creativity, we felt it could, and should, be even bigger and better. So we spent many moons working on a brand new FormFiftyFive, still high in eye (and brain) candy, but with a brand new look and lots of new features that dig even deeper into what’s happening in the design community.

We’ve also added more interactive elements on the site so people can exchange and store ideas more easily, encouraging collaboration and making the site more than just another design blog.

So have a look round, if you see something you love or hate be sure to comment, and drop us a line if there’s a juicy bit of creative gold you’d like to see on here.

Keep it real, the FFF team.

  1. While they do have some quality work on display, I do feel like I have seen the identity above (Wordley) done to death…

    Spin’s HOV has well and truly been rinsed along with Made Thought’s Mill identity.

    or is it just me?

  2. I think that’s just you Andy – there’s loads of semi-abstract ‘block’ logos knocking about, I don’t think any one studio can claim ownership. It is structurally similar to the Mill, but is totally round. So no, Andy, no. Good work Kutchibok.

  3. Stunning work, nice post Loz.

    Maybe Departures have a rival for the most beautifully crafted work coming out of Cardiff…

  4. Hi Damo,

    That’s exactly my point – there is loads. My critique (if you can call it that) was not that the identity was a plagiarised version of the the said Agency’s but that the concept of abstract blocks has been exhausted of late…

    Kutchibok have (as previously stated) have done some awesome work – I just feel that there is other pieces within there portfolio that are stronger.

    But I’m glad it’s just me…

  5. lovely simple designs, I see what you mean about the similarities but it’s a nice reworking, and the studio’s near a really good welsh cake shop which is always a plus in my book.

  6. The works good but when are design studios that shoot there work this way going to start showing any shame. We all know that Made Thought were the first exponents of this style of work display. On their part it was an original and conscious decision on art direction, not just a black or white background which nobody can lay claim to. There are so many sites now that have shot their work this exact same way I just don’t get how they can hold their heads up when they’ve so blatantly ripped off another studios style. Its such a shame cos the works good and its not just this studio who are guilty of this.
