“groovy mother...”

Appetizing typography.

Gorgeous redesign of the indiemusic exploration and listening site.

I don’t know why letterhead design interests me as much as it does, but I’m always fascinated by it. Random fact: As a kid, I collected “With Compliments” slips.

I quite like this set of animations for AOL’s new corporate identity. Viewed together like this, it feels like when the BBC reveals a new collection of idents!

Man, nothing would make me send more letters than being able to put a Screamadelica stamp on the envelope.

Love love LOVE! the new Doctor Who logo. As timeless as is appropriate for a show about time travel.

A beautifully incendiary post about “Google’s Aspergerian nerds” and their complete misunderstanding of visual design.

UI sketching tool. Deliberately made to look “back-of-the-napkin”-esque, to ensure no-one spends too long worrying about pixels over functionality.

Epically mental “leaked” Pepsi rebranding document. Hard to tell if this is genuine Pseud’s Corner style bullshit, a genius bit of viral marketing by Pepsi, or a splendidly bizarre hoax.

The best and worst logo redesigns of 2008. I quite like their April 1st Ford redesign — wish it had been for reals!

Rather gorgeous minimalistic skin for Google Reader, by Jon Hicks. Had to tweak it to get my all-important “Mark All as Read” button, but apart from that, perfet.

Some gorgeous photos and illustrations, at just the right size to be your iPhone wallpaper.

“30 graphic designers create 30 posters and give you their 30 reasons to vote for Barack Obama on November 4th.”

“ONLY BUILD STUFF FOR YOURSELF. That’s the Golden Rule of Building Stuff. If you’re planning to build something for someone else, let someone else build it.”

Slides from a vintage IBM sales presentation. I might do a presentation some time that *only* uses these for illustration.

About the UI design of Wells Fargo ATMs. My decision to open a Wells Fargo account after moving to SF was largely influenced by the experience I had at one of their ATMs, so it’s definitely a good design.

ColourLovers has a new (to me) section collecting tileable patterns. Some gorgeous designs here — just the thing for your wallpaper.

Interview with Jason Spaceman and Mark Farrow about the fantastic packaging they’ve put together for Spiritualized’s albums. They’re one of the few bands where I make sure to buy the “deluxe” CD.

The new UK coinage is wicked cool — the individual coins are part of a larger picture.
