Pretty interesting Behind the Scenes look @ the making of the DC commercials. Pretty sure Chris Cole is the next wave of video games, in that he’s a living video game character.
Thanks AWSM
Monoscope has a great collection of Ephemera once posted on bulletin boards in the Charles and Ray Eames. Amazing. Check them all out @ the Library of Congress’ incredibly user-unfriendly site Library of Congress
Thanks, Quips!

So, the story goes like this. The logo we (American’s) know as the RCA logo is one of the first instances of company branding. See, way back in 1899 the Gramophone company bought a painting by Francis Barraud with a dog listening to a record of his dead owner’s voice. Interested? Follow the jump to find out the whole story.
This is just too cool not to share. The good folks at House Industries took on the herculean task of getting Photo Lettering’s catalog of work online for non-house employees to use in their stuff! LOADS of great work over there, so many unique fonts, the place is a goldmine! Order any single setting for $7, that’s right – seven bucks. What a bargain, store in the awesome bin for future reference! Check it out Photo Lettering

And that’s not all, check this gem out! An iPhone app to geotag, collect & share cool found typography! Great idea, can’t wait to see the coolness that floats around from this one!

That’s what I thought when I saw this great piece which would make Rube Goldberg a happy man.

Great gallery of 75 abandoned theaters across the good ol’ USA. Like the Abandoned Houses photo essay we posted a while back, it’s sad to see such glory rotting away. Makes you appreciate the work that went into restoring the old greats like LA’s Pantages Theater to their former glory.

A quickie for you all today, just got back in the shop after the SIA shredfest last week, complete with literal bone-chilling -20° temps in the mtns. In celebration of the mtns though, we found this jewel above after clicking a couple links which started over on Quipsologies. Pretty amazing collection of VHS tape box Horror Movie art – Monster Brains Awesome!
More after the jump!
