Moving forward, I hope the sense is a little more common.

The scandinavians really have an eye for the fundamental design principles. These logos from the 60’s and 70’s have a tight grasp on form and typography. I feel these embody everything a logo should be; simple, accessible, scalable.

There are a ton of other great ones at Oliver Thomas’ flickr.

Noy + Jen Lu on Typcut

Couple new additions to the Typcut. Noy has dropped a nice political piece, stickin’ it to Max Baucus, a democrat sponsored by the corrupt insurance companies, who’s been screwing the health care reform we need here in the U.S.

The second piece is done by Jen Lu, a new addition to Typcut that i’m really excited about. Her debut submission is sweet candy.

Jen Lu & Krink

Alright two great things to showcase today. Jen Lu a very prolific designer, doing great work out of NYC. The other is Krink, a street inspired art supply company, started by KR, making high quality markers that rock really sharp branding and packaging. I’ve recently been experimenting using Krink on some of my paintings, it’s a really fun and expressive medium to work with.

I actually found Jen Lu through the Krink site, the design was well done so i had to see who was responsible. Jen has a well refined style, her cartoony mutant genitalia characters are pretty amusing, I love the sense of humor and willingness to cross the line in her work. I’ve invited her to contribute to Typcut, so keep an eye on the screen and a tentacle on the keyboard.

“Liza introduced us to white rum and soda at an Andy Warhol party. We first met Liza Minelli at a party Andy Warhol gave for his magazine, ‘Interview.’ What amazed us about her was that the personality she projects on stage is not an act at all. It’s simply Liza. She radiates such warmth and enthusiasm that after an hour of conversation we both felt as if we’d known her all our lives. During the evening I asked Liza if I could get her a drink and she ordered something I’d never tasted before: white rum and soda. It sounded interesting (Liza has a way of making everything sound interesting) so I tried one. Then my wife tried one…A Warhol party, the start of a friendship with Liza Minnelli and an introduction to white rum. Not bad for one evening.” An artsy couple luxuriate in their studio; she wears a long open-knit shawl, avant garde and exotic; he wears a white shirt, white work pants and work shoes – very informal – an artist. The decor is deliberately skyscraper attic with a window crank and cactus.

Why can’t we have ads with this much sickening copy anymore? Oh that’s right, these were replaced with web 2.0.

If you haven’t checked out Steven Harrington’s work, you really must. I actually discovered him through his iPhone cover he designed for Incase.

His muted yet psychedelic color selection, totem like characters, an illusionary shapes pull me back into some acidy 60’s road trip, to a rocket in the New Mexico desert, aimed at the moon.
