New Twitter Bird.

 

The update of the new Twitter bird-‘Larry’ comes as both good and bad news to people. The loss of the ‘goofiness’ has meant loss of character for some viewers. Personally I think the new one is much nicer and lighter, therefore allowing it to sit quite easily upon different applications. I can also see that this is the reason why some tweeters dislike the update, as it is clean like a lot of marks nowadays. The new logo is  made up of three overlapping circles to show networking and connections. Would love to hear your thoughts on the update.

Minnesota Zoo.

The old Minnesota Zoo logo designed by Lance Wyman (via LogoDesignLove).

Why on earth did they get rid of this, it’s bloody brilliant!!!!

Andy Gilmore.

If you like your geometric patterns Andy Gilmore is your man, some lovely compositions on his site.

Jean-Charles Desevre.

Wonderful intricate works from Jean-Charles Desevre. His lovely style makes the work look timeless yet modern at the same time.

Love Eat Menu Design.

Found this wonderful menu design via Art of the Menu. Such a fun way to sell the food/drink products and makes it look like a very down to earth cafe too. Love the illustrations.

Bodoni.

One of my favourite fonts is Bodoni which means I have exceptional love for this decorative twist on the typeface. Created by Jonny Holmes, Paul Oakley and Nigel Bents who are all studying at Chelsea College of Art & Design. The process started off as a digital Illustrator design, later letterpressed and printed.

Michelberger Booze.

I love this example of parallax scrolling from Michelberger Booze, the use of illustration is so lovely and used in a really nice way. 

Handmade Type.

 

This handmade type was created by Tien-Min Liao, who created the different letterforms by drawing the shapes in ink on her hand. The project was done to study the relationship between lowercase and uppercase letters: when making the transformation from uppercase to lowercase (vice versa) Liao would only use her hands to change the letterform, not the ink shape. See all of the amazing alphabet after the jump.
