Keeping with this weeks theme of classic design, here’s a great site called Art of the Arcade by Nick Dart that showcases the lost video game designs and illustrations from the 70s and 80s. Hopefully it gets updated more frequently.

Minimal Diet Coke Packaging
Diet Coke has announced that they’re permanently changing the packaging of the Diet Coke cans to this beautiful, minimal and bold design created by Turner Duckworth. The cropping and scaling of the logo creates some interesting white space, and I this design will definitely stand out on the shelves. Diet Coke has reported that the new look is performing really well. More at Creative Review.
Nostalgi Packaging
Beautiful packaging design by Bedow for the Nostalgi rack designed in 1937 by Gunnar Bolin.
Lark Cigarette Packaging
Love this packaging design created in 1968 by George Tscherny for Lark. A great design for a terrible product.
Fruita Blanch
Beautiful packaging and identity design by Atipus for Fruita Blanch. Great color and typography give the identity a certain character.
Ducats Milk Packaging
I agree with Shelby, I’d pay good money to get my hands on these Ducats milk cartons designed by Heinz Grunwald in the 80s. They’re beautiful and functional. These are also a reminder of how bad design can get nowadays. It’s our responsibility as designers to push graphic design back to this type of thinking. Simple, smart, beautiful.
