Universal Leonardo: Leonardo da Vinci Online, has been nominated on 'EDSITEment' as one of the best online resources for education in the humanities.

Yale University will discuss the project in their next website publication.

Screen shots of the website have also been selected to appear in the publication 'Web Style Guide, Basic Design Principles for Creating Web Sites, 3rd edition', due out in the Autumn.

We dipped our toes in an exciting new platform by creating a media player loaded with Last.fm's interesting features. Also added some location based magic to let you know where to go when you want to shake a leg :) But see for yourself in the demos

ustwo™ is an Adobe Solution Partner and a member of the Adobe Partner Connection.

We were asked by interior decorators flaunt-it* to design a website showcasing their recent projects, to work as a portfolio for future clients. The commissioning of painters and decorators is predominantly done by women, so the site needed to be attractive to females, while illustrating the gap in the market that flaunt-it* bridge between renovation and interior design. Take a look.

We're currently setting up our first international studio in Malmö, Sweden, which is due to open on the 1st July. Not only that, we're opening another studio on our existing patch in Shoreditch. Small is beautiful, it's true. But bigger is better!

"Dear ustwo™

Congratulations! Your drawing Pin Up logo has been successful at the in-Book and/or Nomination stage of the 2008 D&AD awards."

ustwo™ is looking for graphical animators to join the London based family. Granimators™ experiment with code/tween driven dynamic Flash designs, and thrive when spending all day, every day creating incredible Granimatics™

Today is our 3rd birthday, and what a great year it has been! We're all hoping that 2008 is even more prosperous than 2007!

Good, because we're hiring Flash animators

Conservation Uncovered is a 3 yr exhibit focusing on the conservational work carried out by the British Library, which ranges from restoring ancient manuscripts to conserving original sound recordings. To highlight the latter, we created an interactive sound installation that guides the user through the audio restoration process, from altering the pitch and tone of famous speeches to boosting the EQ’s of damaged records.

We’ve been working on some new widgets for Last.FM, which is cool. With over 15 million active users, Last.FM is the world’s largest social music platform. If you’re not already a user go there and join the social music revolution - and check out the 'charts' widgets too!

Last month we designed an animation for Global Hand’s 'Give Me Shelter' campaign, which encourages festival-goers to donate unwanted tents and other camping gear. The items are then given to charitable causes the world over. The animation made its first appearance at Glastonbury, and will also show at Reading and Leeds.

There haven't been many posts recently because, happily, we've been snowed under. But this is what's been going on.

Universal Leonardo has been doing us and Keepthinking proud. Following the nomination for the Design Week award, the site achieved 'In Book' status at D&AD and has been nominated for a Webby award.

Virgin Media are just about to launch a DTT digital set top box. As we designed the interface we're pretty pleased about that!

Wildlife photographer David Fettes asked us to create a site for all the lions, tigers and elephants he's caught on camera. Launch is in May.

HandyAV approached us to work on the conceptual development of some exciting new touchscreen products they're bringing to market this year.

We've also designed an online portfolio for the photographer Mel Bles, which you can see here: www.melbles.com

Our wonderful partnership strengthened further this month when we agreed a terrific new contract. Here’s to the future of ustwo and Sony Ericsson!

We’ve just won a pitch to create a sound installation for The British Library, which opens in April this year.

Il capannone Bicocca é un nuovo spazio Milano as if anyone here can speak Italian! But that didn’t stop us having a wonderful time working with Keepthinking on the website for the Hangar Bicocca in Milan.

The Hangar itself is a vast and dynamic center of artistic production, documentation and promotion, whilst the website aims to communicate the unique nature of the gallery and provide information for vistors. Excitingly, both have helped give rise to a dialogue about contemporary art between Milan and the international art community.

Universal Leonardo has been shortlisted for the Design Week Awards 2007! The winners are announced in February, so watch this space… and here’s hoping!

A recent Webuser magazine review describes the Universal Leonardo website as ’stunning’. The site is awarded 5/5 stars and praised for ‘using all the interactive firepower the web has to offer’.

In conjunction with our friends at Communication by Design, we’ve created a touchscreen interface for the natural gas company BG Group.

Work has just got underway on some new interactive projects with Sony Design Centre Europe, which is great! These projects are the latest development in a six year relationship between the Sony team and John and Matt.

According to a recent report from Sony Ericsson, our mobile phone content has reached millions of users worldwide via their website.

A fun project with a musical theme – we’ve just completed the identity and website for singer songwriter Sally J Johnson

We’re very happy to have signed a new contract with Sony Ericsson. We’ll now be working with SE’s internal design team for the remainder of 2006 and into 2007.

Today we moved into a 1600sq ft open plan space in the heart of Shoreditch. Though the new studio is only a small step away from our old home, the move is a giant leap for all involved. Now we have a better base from which to serve our clients and loads more room to grow!

‘What HiFi’ magazine has chosen our Freeview Ferguson Prism Digital receiver as a ‘top christmas stocking filler’. The product scores 4 out of 5 stars!

We've been designing a PVR interface for TVonics.

The latest Ferguson Freeview box is also available in stores from today. A great team effort: TVonics designed and built the box and we created the onscreen interface.

ustwo celebrates as it reaches its first birthday! Thanks to everyone who's made this possible.

Recently we've been contributing wallpapers and video ringtones to Candyspace, who in turn provide the designs to various mobile networks.

In the last 6 months, mobile users downloaded our ‘Starbow’ wallpaper and ‘Starburst’ video ringtone from Vodafone Live 797 times!

In addition to being ‘commended’ at the Design Week Awards in March, our Ford ‘Human Machine Interface’ has been given ‘in book’ status at D&AD 2005!

We're very proud to say this is our second D&AD nomination. Our first being for the digital dashboard we created for the Ford Visos concept car, which received a Silver nomination in 2004.
