Designer Oliver Tomas has an excellent Flickr set featuring a bunch of Scandinavian logos from the 60s and 70s. The two decades when design was at its best.
Oliver’s site is one to keep an eye on, he posts a lot of juicy design pieces. I just wish he would include images in his RSS feed.
I love this identity and branding for Cross Section Studio by Melbourne based multi-disciplinary studio Hunt. The identity system is inspired by Swiss design and includes a letterhead, notepad, business cards and DVD. There’s something about simple black & white designs that I love.
London based agency Purpose has designed this wonderful mailer for business consultancy EFFP. The design of the entire mailer is an exercise in perfection. You can see more photos of the booklet on my Flickr page.
Check out this amazing collection of classic Porsche posters over at Grain Edit. The colors, typography and the simplicity of the designs are breathtaking. I really wish more designers these days would create in this way.

This gorgeous new poster by Peter Crnokrak (The Luxury of Protest) sure doesn’t disappoint. It’s a 720mm X 1020mm dual-sided screen print. One side printed in matte black ink, the other side printed in matte white ink. The poster was printed by K2 Screen London on GFSmith Peregrina Classics Midas dual-sided 120 gsm paper and has this awesome gold sheen when viewed at angle. I have a copy and it’s freakin’ amazing.
Not only is the printing method unique and interesting, but so is the process used to achieve the design. Here’s a description:
“Maths Dreamed Universe” is a quantitative visualisation of the manner within which elemental forms in nature order themselves. The graph was created using generative Python code and maps numbers 0 to 100,001 arranged in a logarithmic spiral. The form of the spiral is determined by the Golden Angle subtension of a circle that distributes numbers from the centre (0) to the outer edge (100,001). The pattern that results is frequently found in nature, as in floral organs, and has been documented since Archimede’s time.
Maths Dreamed Universe is available for purchase at Stereohype.
Here are more detailed photos of the poster.
