Occasional glimpses of what’s on Mascot’s mind. Projects we’re working on, places we’ve been or just things to catch our eye that we want to share.
During a recent clear-out I unearthed my old stamp album. It’s probably not cool to confess to being a former stamp collector, but I don’t mind admitting that the gems in this album provided not only memories but graphic inspiration...
A recent visit to the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester provided an opportunity of enjoying the museum’s collection of trains. Is it a bit trainspottery to experience a frisson of nostalgic excitement when looking at old railway engines?
Creams asked us to add some unique local character to their Glasgow dessert café’s interior. Mascot’s part-Glaswegian provenance came in handy for the creation of a set of graphic panels.
It’s obvious that this timepiece has been carefully conceived and lovingly made, albeit by someone with the craft skills of an apprentice plumber: let’s just say the engineering is more Meccano set than Rolex finesse.
Contrary to popular opinion, Scotland’s top hero isn’t actually Mel Gibson (AKA William Wallace). In the popularity stakes Jackie Stewart doesn’t take poll position either and even Sean Connery has to take a back sheat. In fact, ‘the people’s poet’ Robert Burns is ‘the people’s choice’ when it comes to favourite Scot of all time. Today is his birthday.
Through our association with business incubator The Food Foundry we were recently approached by the founders of The Wings Co. – an Australian start-up specialising in buffalo chicken wings – to design their brand identity.

At Mascot we applaud entrepreneurial spirit – especially when one of our team is involved in a worthy food start-up.
The latest edition of the magazine we design for Nando’s has just been delivered to the company’s employees all over the world. Our creative involvement in this publication over many years has given us valuable insight into what makes an employee magazine an engaging asset for any business.
As one of the world’s top destinations for street food, Palermo was a tempting place for a summer visit. The food lived up to its reputation but it was the streets themselves that were a visual feast for our roving photographer.
Another selection of travelogue images from our globetrotting snapper, this time from the dizzy heights of Madrid, Europe’s highest capital city.
The theme of Rossopomodoro’s Christmas campaign is La Tombola – the traditional Neapolitan festive gambling game – basically Bingo with knobs on.
Regular visits to Napoli to capture the city’s grit and character in images with which to adorn Rossopomodoro’s restaurant walls mean we’ve amassed a fairly extensive picture library.
If you reckon recipe cards are a recent phenomenon invented by Waitrose in a bid to flog more product, think again.
