Girl Distracted

The Y

First the Girl Scouts, now the Y(MCA). I like the idea, but I don’t think it’s 100% there yet. I like the refreshing colors. Maybe soon we’ll see a redesign of the Goodwill logo, too?

Young and Sassy

The Girl Scouts gets a makeover! A fresh update to Saul Bass’ classic logo is the addition of bangs and perkier noses for a more youthful look. The logotype also got a revamp using my favorite typeface Avenir. I love that the stationary uses so much of that awesome Girl Scout Green.

Once upon a time, I was a girl scout. Didn’t make it past Daisy.

The Creepy Art of Human Bones

A little on the macabre side, but I like it. One of many images from François Robert’s Stop the Violence collection. More here.

Also by Katie Daisy, ‘The Land of Ampersand’. Luckily, it’s also a print available on her Etsy store.

Greatest thing everrrr!

I am not an artist - An animated (stop-motion) gif paranoia about nonstop design. Great!

Iconic TV

Designer Albert Exergian’s love of posters, modernism and television was the driving force behind his self-initiated project, Iconic TV, a collection of minimally designed posters for TV shows such as The Wire (one of the best shows you’ll ever see, by the way), 30 Rock, Lost, True Blood, etc.

Letterheady is a Tumblelog with a collection of notable letterheads. Pictured above is Harry Houdini’s from 1913, but browse through the rest of the collection and you’ll find Einstein’s, the Rolling Stones’, Winston Churchill’s and yes, even Adolf Hitler’s.

What Type Are You?

Instead of the predictable holiday greetings, Pentagram’s 2009 holiday card came in the form of an interactive quiz – What Type Are You? After answering four simple questions, I found out I am this type:

Archer Hairline by Hoefler & Frere-Jones. According to the Freudian dude, Archer Hairline is my type because I am “someone who is outwardly composed, but will occasionally run into the bathroom for a quick laugh or quiet cry before emerging to the world outwardly composed again.” I suppose so… In either case, I love Archer. Find out what what type you are. (Password: character)

Happy 2010 – the one week late edition

melanie — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 04:43:56 +0000

Hey, in my defense, I had a lot of visiting family to keep company over the holidays to properly sit down and blog. But what better way to start 2010 than to admire these charming illustrations by Esther Arrts from the Netherlands.
