Here is a classic logo from Stefan Kanchev &#8211; 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.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whilst in France recently we decided to take a cable car up a terribly high mountain as demoed below:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-280" title="DSCF0646" src="http://blog.orangutanstudio.com/wp-content/uploads/DSCF0646.JPG" alt="DSCF0646" width="600" height="800" /></p>
<p>It was most exhilarating and somewhat reminiscent of a Bond movie, as we neared the top I was half expecting <a href="http://www.greencine.com/images/static/moonrakerjaws.jpg" target="_blank">Jaws</a> 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:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-281" title="DSCF0647" src="http://blog.orangutanstudio.com/wp-content/uploads/DSCF0647.JPG" alt="DSCF0647" width="600" height="800" /></p>
<p>Firstly as if you need to say that; only a fool would do such a thing.</p>
<p>Secondly said fool probably wouldn&#8217;t have thought of such an amusing ruse until prompted by such clear visual communication.</p>
<p>Signage as ‘Red Rag to a Bull’ in my opinion.</p>

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&#8217;s worth a look.

The picture says it all, but what&#8217;s even more cool:
&#8220;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.&#8221;
So I guess that&#8217;s the LEGO Orangutan concept out of the window! Some other cool ideas
