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.

Sometimes it’s better to say nothing

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:

DSCF0647

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.

Polish movie posters continue to be a rich source of inspiration and amusement for me (i think this one looks a bit like neil).

Buy some on ebay

Camoufleur

I used to have an unhealthy obsession with camouflage, in that i used to wear a lot of it. Thankfully that passed, but the interest remains, especially in the more unusual aspects of camo design past and present.

Anyway, i found this, it’s worth a look.

Do they make LEGO Orangutans?

The picture says it all, but what’s even more cool:

“When LEGO employees get a business card like this, they even try to match the look of the minifig (gender, hair, glasses) to the person.”

So I guess that’s the LEGO Orangutan concept out of the window! Some other cool ideas
