Instinct and imagination
Offthetopofmyhead is a branding agency founded by me, John Spencer. I collaborate with some of the most talented and experienced people around and bring together the best team of specialists for each job.
We’ve worked with multinational companies and start-ups, central government and local authorities, charities and social enterprises, universities and training consultancies, trade unions and professional bodies, clubs and individuals.
Offthetopofmyhead is creatively led but all our work is underpinned by a sound understanding of organisational strategy so everything we create is on the mark. Offthetopofmyhead waves the flag for instinct and imagination.
I’m the author of three books. Time Flies When You’re Having Fun is an A to Z of idiosyncratic letters taken from logos I’ve designed over the years. There’s No Bullsh*t Like Design Bullsh*t is a collection of soundbites from my published writings on graphic design that strip away the nonsense to reveal some common sense. Risk-Taking Trailblazers is about some of the extraordinary people I’ve worked with and the logos I’ve designed for them. My books are published by Impress.
