Since 2014, Working Not Working has published an annual list of the Top 50 companies that creatives want to work for, informed by a survey of its international membership. And while audiences were always keen to know which brands had featured, the list had recently become a little predictable, with Google, Nike, Apple, Droga5, Wieden + Kennedy, Netflix and Disney unsurprisingly recurring. So, rather than “releasing last year’s list in a slightly different order,” WNW says wryly in a statement, this year’s survey asked members to instead name the companies who’d most impressed them and individuals who’d most inspired them in the past 12 months.

Studio Moross has created the visuals and a new promo for season 13 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, set to launch on screens on New Year’s Day. Kate Moross and their team were tasked with illustrating individual type lock-ups for each queen for the Ruveal, as well as animating a 30-second TV spot illustrating powerful quotes from each queen.
For the type design, Anna Czuż and Johnny Brennan from Studio Moross worked with Leandro Assis (AKA Lebassis), a lettering artist and illustrator based in Brazil, whose work Kate says “fits perfectly for this campaign”. Explaining the process in more detail, they add: “We didn’t really pull from any references, just worked on creating a suite of hand-drawn assets, which had different personalities but worked in unison.”
