Studio MPLS

Plain and simple, Studio MPLS does great work. It seems like a lot of studios have that big, exciting, one-hit-wonder type piece in their portfolio, and the rest is less than compelling. Often times the client plays into the quality as well; bringing down work rather than elevating it.
It’s nice to see Studio MPLS working with a range of clients and still managing to create smart, fun, engaging design. I really appreciate those firms that can elevate and add meaning to the everyday business or idea, and not just make a flashy gig-poster.

I would definitely go to that salon based solely on their identity system.

lovely work yes, but most of this work was created under the Fallon / Duffy design umbrella. Ideas created collaboratively by multiple minds. I’m not discounting the skilled design chops here, just that this work represents so many more people than Studio MPLS claims.

@Jimmy
Looks to me like they do credit their work that was done on a contract basis/in the past for other shops. Seems like a common thing to me for a creative director/art director to show their work from the different places they’ve worked as long as they give credit were credit is due and they have in this situation.
