After 30 years, USA Today has finally redesigned themselves, and I personally love it. The work was done by Wolff Olins, and the new logo features a simple circle and text set in Futura. Each section of the paper gets its own colorway and lockup. Nicely done. What do you think?
40 years ago, Otl Aicher and his team designed the revolutionary identity system for the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. UCA Canterbury in the UK is celebrating this iconic work with an exhibition featuring posters, pictograms, information design, and range of print and promotion materials from the games. The exhibit will be held from June 29th – July 31st at the Herbert Read Gallery.
Eye Magazine also has a nice write-up of the exhibit, along with some photos.
BVD has launched a new identity and a website with mobile optimized versions. They put together a nice little video showing off the new site. Looking sharp.
We have given ourselves a new design. BVD has appointed a new CEO, installed a new Chairman of the Board and welcomed a new Partner and in our minds an updated company requires an updated identity. Our new identity reflects our ambitions och represents our quality standards in all parts. Now we have a distinct logo with clean, geometrical lines. A logo that stands out, that is useable in all medias and, of course, easily recognized. Simplify to clarify!
Lufthansa + Graphic Design: Visual History of an Airline is a book by Lars Müller Publishers that highlights the corporate identity of Deutsche Lufthansa. In 1963 , Otl Aicher and his Gruppe E5 student group at the HfG Ulm were commissioned by Lufthansa to develop a new visual identity.
The book also includes the design and advertising history of Lufthansa from the 1920s until today, illustrations from the corporate archive, background articles, interviews, reproductions from the Ulm study of 1962, and the first corporate design manual for Lufthansa from 1963.

Hey Studio is quickly becoming one of my favorite design agencies. This identity for the Catalonia Ministry of Enterprise and Labour is stellar. The cover illustrations are metaphors that represent statistic analysis and information flow.
Absolutely stunning stationery design by Six for timepiece brand, Uniform Wares.
