David Beckham, Daft Punk, Snoop, DJ Neil Armstrong, the Gallagher brothers (not the funny ones, the Oasis ones)? Dang… It would be better in my eyes if they ditched Beckham for someone less….. tabloid? and maybe someone more obscure than Snoop (Method Man would be pretty fitting) but all in all, it’s pretty awesome. Extra points in my book for having Daft Punk front & center.
Thanks to werd.com for bringing it to our attention.
This has been around for a little while but it’s pretty creative none the less and definitely worth watching. It’s definitely a watchable public service ad, words which don’t always go together.
The video’s been around a while but it’s hard to argue that the visuals in it are pretty awesome. The Rube Goldberg style of continual randomness is just to awesome not to post up.
Dropped a font this week named Optical Dillusion. Two years in the making and countless minuscule changes and tweaks which nobody but us would ever notice it’s ready to go. If you want to see more or hear the story behind it, follow the jump! Read More
So about a week ago Seattle’s Best Coffee decided to drop their new logo. In case you haven’t read really any design blog, msn or yahoo type site or have a water cooler gossiper who knows you like that arty stuff it’s causing a pretty big commotion, generally not the good kind. Read More
Perhaps you’ve seen this newfangled fanciness or perhaps you haven’t. Either way, the idea’s pretty good. Next year Puma’s bringing a whole new game to the shoe world, The Clever Little Bag. More after the jump. Read More

It’s always sad to see good things die. I wore black for a week after Johnny Cash died. I get sad when I see a crashed up classic car. This is the graphic equivalent of Johnny Cash dying from crashing a hemi ‘Cuda. United Airlines & Continental Airlines recently announced that they were going to merge.

Book of the Month time again. This time around, it’s an amazing number by Michael Evamy, simply called Logo. It’s as thick as a dictionary and has just about every good logo you can imagine. Check out our mini review here.
Pretty good work here by Julian Hansen. A crazy flow chart of how to find a typeface. Doing an infographic and you cried during Terminator? He’s got you covered.

Got to thinking about commercials you don’t mind watching recently and one that sticks out in my mind many, many years after it came out is Spike Jonze Levi’s Tainted Love spot. Amazing. Got another Spike vid after the jump if you’re interested. Read More
Saw this the other day and thought I’d post it up on here. ABCs of branding is done by Jason Dean out of Orlando. The poster is embossed & foil stamped featuring, well, the abc’s of branding.

Or just check out the details after the jump. Read More
