A brief overview of my life in logos: Which logos would tell the story of your life?
Already many times discussed at f.i. Brand New and LogoDesignLove ánd made fun of (brilliantly by Lawrence Yang) there’s not really much to say anymore about the new 2009 Pepsi logo. Some like it, calling it a smiley or Pac-Man, some utterly disliking it, calling it a p*nis or, like Yang, suggesting it’s a fat [...]
Yesterday, the day of this year’s Super Bowl, the logo for next year’s event was unveiled. The logo is dominated by the roman numerals XLIV (next year’s Super Bowl will be the 44th) with the word Super over the XL and Bowl over the IV. Roman numerals have formed part of all Super Bowl logos [...]

Two great photosets of Arabic versions of logos and packaging by J. Jason Smith of Graphicology. I particularly like how most logos manage to retain their identity when transcribed. (via Brand New)
A topical post to start off the blog. Today is the inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th president of the United States. A lot was written last year on how Obama’s election campaign had a lot in common with a well run marketing or advertising campaign for the Obama brand. A big part of [...]
