Expo67
June 27th, 2011Expo67 was the of most successful exhibition of the World’s Fair and it was held in Montreal, Canada, from April 27 to October 29, 1967.
The design surrounding the exhibition was extraordinary, which was developed by a number of designers. My favorite piece is this poster pictured here. I’m attracted to the super simple design and illustration, and the white space. I’ve tried to do some research on it, but I can’t seem to find out who designed it. If anyone knows, please shoot me an email.
UPDATE: The folks at Kind Company solved the mystery. The poster was designed by Ernst Roch.
You can see more pieces from the exhibition here, here and here. Oh and check out this great Alfa Romeo ad.

I love these covers designed in 1959 by Yves Zimmermann for Typografische Monatsblätter. Set in Akzidenz Grotesk, these covers remind me of another TM cover designed by Robert Büchler. A poster was also printed of these wonderful design.
Definitely check out the full article on Display for more details on these beauties.

Tom Carnase
June 22nd, 2011Tom Carnase has created some of the most iconic logotypes for Brooks Brothers, Saks Fifth Avenue and Calvin Klein, just to name a few. He also worked along side Herb Lubalin and helped him create the popular Avant Garde typeface. Some of his lettering work is displayed here, but I recommend that you do a Google search to see all of his great pieces.

Caravan Identity
June 15th, 2011Really nice identity for Caravan Restaurant in London by Inhouse. I personally love the bottles and how the graphic is printed directly on the bottle so you can see the liquid behind it.

Lavafilm Identity
June 2nd, 2011Wonderful identity system by Henrik Wold Kraglund and Ludvig Bruneau Rossow for the Lavafilm film company.
The idea behind the identity:
The concept for Lavafilm’s identity is inspired by natural disasters, such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. During an earthquake, solid objects will divide and move to random positions. This has been the basis for the development of our solution.
