Sagmeister & Walsh: New Identity

My good friend Becky showed me Sagmeister and Walsh's new identity yesterday. I'm just not a fan of using vulgarity and nudity as creative. Don't get me wrong. I'm all for vulgarity and nudity. Just not for branding/identity. I mean, condoms-really?

Farmhouse: New venture from Leo Burnett

Farmhouse is a new initiative from Leo Burnett where innovative ideas are created. While Advertising is about selling, Leo Burnett has fostered a new program where they make products/ideas/movements worth selling. LOVE the idea and the design.

More and more these days Advertising is about doing rather than just talking about. It's about finding solutions for consumers and creating movements.

UW Design School Showcase 2012

UW Design school has a fantastic showcase of student work. Go Huskies! Some sampling of work:

Dollar Shave Club

My good friend Carolyn sent this my way. This guy is a genius. Amazing design, witty and fun. I want to buy a razor just because this is so sweet. Little touches like the bottom right hand corner seal "Chairman's BS free seal." Well done. Well done.

Arnold Furnace Sydney/Huawei Technologies

Featured in this year's Communication Arts Typography Annual are these clever posters for Huawei Technologies by Arnold Furnace Sydney.

Huawei makes affordable smartphones for a young but relatively cash-poor demographic. The task was to launch the brand in Australia, with a focus on making it as desirable as possible. These superlight/six-sheet posters ran at bus shelters, train stations and other sites with long dwell time. They established an immediate impact and rapport with their target, thanks to great art direction and a witty tone of voice. Typefaces: Burbank, Frutiger Bold Black, HT Gelateria.

Happy Pills

Just returned from a three week jaunt through Europe. One of the many highlights was a little store in Barcelona's Born District called Happy Pills. What better drug is there than candy? Design by studio m. Below are the "pills" I bought. Gummy turtles. Great concept and execution. Would love to open a store in the U.S.

Mike Kus

Love the style of UK-based designer Mike Kus. I rarely find great website design and I love all of his. Just a few samplings below.
