I absolutely love these collages from Bryan Olson - he has somehow managed to tastefully create bad 80's artwork with a retro styled version of future space (a complicated layering of styles but he's nailed it).
Really impactful and gets across pretty much every aspect of key branding from the style guide, designed by Browns, a South-London based design studio. Thanks to @davidloosmore for this one...

"Sonia Delaunay (November 14, 1885 – December 5, 1979) was a Jewish-French artist who, with her husband Robert Delaunay and others, cofounded the Orphism art movement, noted for its use of strong colours and geometric shapes. Her work extends to painting, textile design and stage set design. She was the first living female artist to have a retrospective exhibition at the Louvre in 1964, and in 1975 was named an officer of the French Legion of Honor. Her work in modern design included the concepts of geometric abstraction, the integration of furniture, fabrics, wall coverings, and clothing."
