A lovely directory designed by Marc&Anna for the London Design Festival’s Tent London show. The typeface used is F37 Bella by Rick Banks. I also love the use of the pink/salmon paper.

Paul Ibou
Paul Ibou is a Belgian graphic designer whose work includes 350 logos and symbols for corporations and public institutions, and in 1980 he started the publication Vorm in Vlaanderen. He has a great collection of work. My personal favorite is this calendar. I’m sucker for a tightly kerned sans-serif.
You can see more of his work on Iconofgraphics.com.
ABC Verlag
ABC Verlag (Edition) was a book publisher based in Zurich, Switzerland that released a superb collection of graphic design and fine art books between 1962-1989. I’ve been personally obsessed with these books and have been on a hunt for them for the last 4 years. They contain some of the best graphic design of the last century, and each book covers a different topic.
I recently uploaded photos to my Flickr of my three most recent additions to my collection:
History of the Poster – 1971 – Josef Müller-Brockmann
Design Concept Realisation – 1975 – Wolfgang Schmittel
Color Sells Your Package – 1969 – J.P. Favre
I can get lost in this stuff for days.
Volkswagen Logo Specifications
I love looking at logo specs like this one for the VW logo, which is one of my favorite marks. It gives you some insight into how the logo was created. Graham Smith took the time to recreate this sheet into a downloaded file.
Other personal favorites include the specs for the 1976 Montreal Olympics logo, and the Braun logo.
