My Q made it into an Interview!

My question made it into David Airey's interview with Tom Geismar! (See Q #4.) Thanks Logo Design Love!

Sawmerifenchax? Haxifenchaw?

Whatever you call it, it's freaking awesome! I don't know jack about Brook & Hunter, but supposedly they made the Mo-Tool wood-inlay axe with hand crafted red oak wooden handle of the highest quality. Mo-tool axe includes screwdrivers, blades, knives, can opener, wire cutter, pliers, file and wrench! Despite it's lame name, it looks like a great tool for hammering, cutting, or killing around the home, car, boat or camper. Hunt. Fish. Camp. Survive. Good luck.

Citizen's Arrest!

These witty little notes will get you slightly less of an ass-kicking than keying someone's car.

Brand Identity: Garrett Logo

A woman with the former maiden name Garrett (now Lilly. Hey wait a minute! That's my mom!), called a week or so ago and inquired about a logo. After a couple of phone calls (and finalizing the name), here's what we came up with. She was very happy.

The entrance to Tomorrow Land! Hurray!!

Hopefully the bunny doesn't conjure up too many images and feelings form your childhood.

Up to the 3:30 minute mark this guy is dead on! It did strike me that the "W" actually was great for G.W. 43. Too bad the execution sucked -- royally! Cue sad trombone track: *Wah-Wah-Wah-Waaaah*.

Whittle, the Democrat logo can't even touch the Republican logo. The Republican logo (pun intended)kicks the Dems ass! The elephant, I would argue, is solid, clean, and professional. It's a good mark and a lot can be done with a mark like that.

Past the 6:00 mark, he goes off into more branding blah blah blah and shows off what he calls a "master-piece". Gag me! It's a far cry, IMO. The copy "Why so Socialist" is clever, but once again(like all conservative design I've ever seen) fails(miserably) in execution.

See how Liberals create engaging, memorable design here.

Know Your Environment

Cooliris(a kickin' site for browsing photos, etc) designed it's installation process to integrate with the already-existing installation process/graphics of FireFox = Brilliant! What a great user experience!

t 'n' i

Recently a co-worker was wondering when I would look over the design of an project we were sending out. Made me wonder, "What’s the design equivalent to 'crossing t’s and dotting i’s'"?

Now THAT'S a Knife

The guys Ethan Becker of BK&T and John Benner of TDI put their heads together to create the KA-BAR Becker(Poor Benner couldn't get his name in there? Maybe if he'd had on of these strapped to his side he could have.) Tac Tool. It smashes! It bashes! It prys! It hammers! And, yes, it even cuts – assailants in half

Top This

Jar Tops are the latest and greatest thing to hit food jars since Bandana's Banditos Jalapeno Mustard. Waite ... I don't think I've ever tried that. In fact I'm not sure how it got in my fridge. A set of Jars includes long-handled cap, an oil and vinegar cap, a cocoa shaker(?) cap, a creamer cap, and a sugar shaker cap. You can even buy the from the MoMA store.

Chicago Beating Video | **SHOCKING** Derrion Albert's DEATH

Wow.

Looks like Chi-town needs some more community organizing.

Now we're gonna have to outlaw splintered railroad ties.
