There’s so much talent on this site it was hard to decide which examples to post. Fighting the temptation to add them all here’s are a couple that really caught my eye:

Here is a classic logo from Stefan Kanchev – here is his website . Loads of his logos are recognisable but I have never seen his stamps, posters and books before. The website is a retrospective as he died in 2001 at the ripe old age of 86.

Good friend of Orangutan, Immo, is off to Vietnam and Cambodia in February to take part in a somewhat epic 470km cycle in aid of the humanitarian landmine clearance charity MAG.

A great effort for a very worthy cause and worth sponsoring in it’s own right. However Mr Blaese has gone one step further and designed and printed  created a bunch of posters, tshirts and postcards which in his own words are:

”A limited edition of original screenprints and other items I have carefully created for this event. If you decide to sponsor me for MAG landmine clearance I would like to give something back to you. 100% of all the money raised will go directly to MAG via JustGiving.”

So if you think you’d like to donate and maybe bag a rather nice print at the same time go here: http://www.vietnam2cambodia.com/

Bravo Immo, an outstanding effort!

Whilst in France recently we decided to take a cable car up a terribly high mountain as demoed below:

It was most exhilarating and somewhat reminiscent of a Bond movie, as we neared the top I was half expecting Jaws to come crashing through the roof of the gondola. Anyway despite being quite taken with the info graphics used I was somewhat alarmed by the signage shown below:

Firstly as if you need to say that; only a fool would do such a thing.

Secondly said fool probably wouldn’t have thought of such an amusing ruse until prompted by such clear visual communication.

Signage as ‘Red Rag to a Bull’ in my opinion.

I’ve always thought DOPPLR was a great idea but it now makes so much more sense on iPhone – great stuff! Check it our here…
