Wasn't to sure about the work on their site, looks a bit familiar, (in a bad way). But if you look on their blog there is some really nice new stuff, models poster etc. Looks slightly less dated.
I have to agree with james on this one, I like the style of block, flattened imagery but they do seem to be following a trend thats becoming too familiar, thus less popular and effective. Im not sure about the 'sponge paint' effect in some of the images either, it does add to the darkness but also makes the illustrations appear dated (as james suggested). It will be good to see what they come up with in the future and see whether/how they move away from this style.
The graphic team wants to broaden your cultural experience in relation to design. This initiative will allow you to explore and develop new inspiration to inform your future work. To get this initiative going the graphics team have set up this blog on which interesting/inspirational things will be posted for you to view and comment on.

I can understand what you mean by familiar, apparently that style is back "in vogue" at the moment.
It's a good idea to collect blog links like that and keep an eye on them.
