I was commissioned by Jessica Walsh to help out with the branding for her new studio &Walsh. The new branding uses 50 different custom ampersands for both the visual identity and tonal expression. The typographic system includes &Walsh clients, projects, collaborators, experiments and endeavours: hence the (Blank) & Walsh.
The project involved many designers, lettering artists, 3D artists and animators. For my part I created over 250 custom ampersands, contributing to a combined total of 1,230, with 50 of these becoming part of the final typographic system.

“Dan did a fantastic job experimenting with new forms of ampersands, pushing the limits of type and creating beautiful forms that were both unique, interesting, and legible. It was such an awesome collaboration!”Jessica Walsh – &Walsh
