Circle Spin - We Made This

Circle Spin

Spin

Kicking the new year off in style, the first Typocircle talk of 2008 is by Tony Brook from Spin. They're the folks behind identities such as More4, Five TV, the ICA, Whitechapel Art Gallery, and a host of other great work. The talk is entitled "Media Neutral Design": it takes place on Thursday 24 January, at JWT in Knightsbridge, and promises to be a fascinating evening.

UPDATE - Sorry folks, all the tickets are now sold out. We can't make it along ourselves, so if anyone fancies doing a review, just drop us a line.
