Series of experimental covers for Faber’s new POD film range. Inspired by the phenomena of a visual glitch, the design utilizes a logarithm that translates the title and section into a distinct graphic pattern. Original script developed by Ted Davis.
PS: I’m back from Argentina. More on the trip soon!
Hat-trick Design’s stamp series for Royal Mail - Eye blog (via Z.B.)
This series of stamps uses ‘historical and modern stock images to portray all the areas of Darwin’s study, from Geology to Biology. We wanted to communicate how all these areas were interlinked, and that each study informed the bigger picture and ultimately led to his theories.’
As someone who collected stamps as a child, and apparently still has a little bit of lingering stamp fetish going on, let me just say: these are nice looking stamps.
Ninety Years of Refrigerators, and Logos - Brand New
What is saddest still is viewing the logo in color. The placement of the red triangle results in breaking the word Frigidaire into two separate words: Frigid and Ire. Given that these products are specifically marketed to moms, this messaging system is likely not going to appeal to anyone.
Not that I’m particularly invested in Frigidaire’s brand or anything, but yeah, poorly done. Seems like mid-century is as chic as ever right now, so the timing on this is odd as well. Also: FRIGID IRE.
The first recorded photo of Buenos Aires’ Boca Juniors football/soccer team, taken in 1906. If all goes well, I’ll be seeing these guys play next week. Well, not these exact guys, but guys like them. (via Wikipedia)
Blank Meets Pettibon “We’re An American Band”

This has “art music” written all over it, but I have to say I found it surprisingly moving. “The power trio makes louder,” indeed. John Cale eat your heart out.
