Capes, Liars and Secret Identities

Well, it’s been some time since my last post here. But I’ve got plans, and soon there will be new beginnings. Until then, enjoy the Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co. website.

Typographic chair

A typographic chair by Joseph Kosuth. Cool!

Lego Fenway Park

Fenway Park, built with legos! (Wishing I had a better camera and that I didn't have to shoot through a glass case.)

Thank you, Ally, for the super hook-up!

Groovy!

Mr. Men and Little Miss pinball game.

Awesome?

We report; you decide. But free is awesome, and here are ten free script fonts for download at myinkblog.com.

What does a rainbow smell like?

Fun! Trend Stinky Stickers at Bubbledog.

I remember many of these, but Bandage seems to have slipped my mind. And, apparently, coconut is associated with ghosts.

Thanks to Sheldon for the share!

Notice anything different?

It’s a new logo for the popular burrito joint. Read more at Brand New.

Lost and Found

Oliver Jeffers’ charming children’s book is now a charming short movie.

Typographie Mon Amour!

Vernacular.fr — a blog with a focus on signage designed with French typography.

Just ... beautiful.

I <3 NY

Says who?

How wonderful life would be

Um ... no.

Life, reincarnated

Now a website at life.com.

(Thanks to the Daily Heller.)

Jump

I couldn’t resist posting this collage of my adorable nephew.

Happy logo winners

The Happy Monster logo is adorable and clever!

Winners of the Worldwide Logo Design Annual have recently been announced. See more excellent designs at WOLDA.

FaceOut Books

FaceOut Books — a website that was created to “appreciate the practice of book cover design.”

Above, the cover for the book Against Happiness, a truly great design solution using the smallest amount of elements.

Design Inspiration

Design Inspiration is a site that was created by a group of designers for the purpose of making “every designer's life easier” by featuring “the best logos, illustrations, websites, photos and patterns from the most talented designers around the world.” I can’t say that I love all of the designs on this site (frankly, I think that some of the logos are mediocre at best), but there are some gems in there.

Particularly, the logo for Ogden Plumbing (below), created by Matt Everson, is a brilliant design that showcases a wonderful application of negative space. Plumbing has never been so elegant.

See more of Matt’s work at Astuteo.

Make the logo BIGGER

This will most likely be funny only to designers, or maybe to people who have an interest in logo design (even if they don't create them). Or, maybe it will be funny to those who understand psychology and the perception of something feeling better to someone if it is bigger.

Thanks to Kim N. for sending this along.

Pitchfork has a new logo

See commentary at Brand New.

If I Was a Robot

I love this! By Alex Noriega.

MTA web vs. T web

Let’s face it — the design of the Boston “T” website beats out that of the New York MTA site. I give extra points to the designers of the T site for referencing in the navigation design the circles that indicate stops found on Boston transit maps.

No hard feelings, New York; you still have the nightlife. And the best pizza.

UP

LOVE the logo for the movie.

Opens May 29th.

Grand Lettering

I just love some of the typography found in the New York Subway system.

Accidental

A treble clef rubber band.
