Photographers and film makers/directors Bas Van Est and Chris Sisarich have teamed up under the name Bas & Chris. The duo’s identity was designed by how by why, using Suisse Int’l, with initials from Respira Black. From basandchris.com:

Nobody knows how long Bas Van Est and Chris Sisarich stumbled through the desert in Oman before the Bedouin picked them up. The two photographers had run out of food and water long ago and had been forced to ration their memory cards to just one shot a day.

They were carried by camel to a small oasis, nursed back to health on a diet of warm goat’s milk and spent days resting under the date palms where they had an epiphany. The two internationally awarded photographers would combine their talents and become a team. A formidable and outrageously talented mashup with a fresh take on image-making.

Alexander Bather is a photographer from Manchester with an amazing body of work and a beautiful eye. Here we’re showing a few of the key components that make up the new modular system for Alex’s identity. Alex has a distinguished style in his approach to photography, which helped us unify the identity through ‘stylistic resemblance’ taking cues from an older generation with a modern twist.

Throughout all items, Alexander’s name is set in ToY (Out of the Dark), using ligatures for AL and TH; above his name, the item is specified once again in capitals, using Armag (Blaze Type). Smaller texts are set in Neue Haas Grotesk (Linotype/Commercial Type).

The script on the “thank you” card is Ballpoint Script (Drew Melton).

About Alexander Bather:

Alex is a published and represented photographer who has adopted a style that brings out the personality and humanity in the people that he photographs. This is achieved in his unique style of photography; knowing where light lies and knowing the perfect time to bring the camera to his face. His own personality is seen throughout his photography.

ToY (Out of the Dark) is used in a big size for the logotype of the photographer, with ligatures for the LA and TH pairs. Neue Haas Grotesk and all-caps Armag (Blaze Type) are combined for the menu.
