Anthony Burrill print: Blue vs Orange - From £70

If you’re looking for an Anthony Burrill print with that classic Burrill combo of plain-spoken warmth and cheeky optimism, these two are the obvious contenders: the Design Museum “You & Me” Blue (40 × 50 cm) and Burrill’s own You&Me (Orange) (50 × 70 cm). Same sunny energy, different specs, different shops, and yes, different sizes.

Quick pick

• Want a smaller statement piece (40×50) + optional framing done for you? Go Blue at the Design Museum.
• Want the bigger poster-size hit (50×70) direct from the artist? Go Orange from Burrill’s site.

What they have in common

• Upbeat, no-nonsense typography that feels like a pep talk without the cringe.
• Words at the centre: gentle humour, clarity, and that “say it like you mean it” Burrill vibe.
• Signed by Anthony Burrill (nice for gifting, nicer for your wall).

Framing notes (so you don’t accidentally buy the wrong frame)

• Blue (40×50): easier to frame, and the Design Museum offers a matching frame service if you want the “arrives ready to hang” life.
• Orange (50×70): larger standard poster size, but you’ll need to sort your own frame (local framer, online custom, or standard 50×70 if you like a snug fit).

Delivery and returns (Design Museum)

The Design Museum Shop lists UK delivery starting from £5, with free shipping on orders over £60, plus a 14-day return window from receipt (return shipping excluded).

Why we rate it

• Instant mood-lift: typography that does the emotional heavy lifting for your room.
• Design pedigree: Burrill’s work is instantly recognisable across posters, books, records and public commissions.
• Easy to live with: bold enough to stand alone, simple enough to work with basically any interior style.

FAQs

Is the Blue print the same as the Orange one?

Same “You & Me” message, different colourway and different product specs. The Blue is 40×50cm on 270gsm paper. The Orange is 50×70cm on 250gsm recycled paper.

Are they limited editions?

The Orange is listed as an open edition on Burrill’s site. The Blue is described as produced for the Design Museum and signed, but availability depends on stock.

Which one should I buy as a gift?

Blue is a great “safe size” gift (40×50) and can be framed for the recipient. Orange is a bigger, bolder gift if you know they’ve got wall space.
