1960s & 1970s Scandinavian Logos
September 16th, 2009Designer 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.

Hunt
September 14th, 2009I 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.

Stefan Kanchev
September 2nd, 2009Stefan Kanchev (1915 – 2001) was one of the most prolific graphic designers to come out of Bulgaria. He’s designed numerous book covers, posters, postcards, advertisements, forms and envelopes, post stamps, labels and packages but he’s widely recognized for his excellent logo work. He’s considered one of the best logo designers along with Saul Bass and Paul Rand.
The simplicity of the logos created by Kanchev is what really stands out for me. They all work in a solid, single color and a minimum amount of shapes and lines are used to create the visual. Stunning.

Chocolat Factory Identity System
August 17th, 2009Here’s an great example of a well designed graphic identity that doesn’t over do it and supports the content. Designed by Ruiz+Company for Spanish chocolate company Chocolat Factory, the identity features a clean sans-serif (which looks like DIN) and a wonderful color palette. Reminds me of the gorgeous identity system for Brooklyn Fare.

Brooklyn Fare
July 17th, 2009Mucca Design has created a stunning package design for Brooklyn based gourmet store, Brooklyn Fare. The branding features a proprietary typeface by Mucca called Fare Serif that is used everywhere and a 4 color system. Another aspect of the minimalist branding that I love is the edgy, humorous tone of the copy.
You can see more of this project on the Mucca newsletters as well as the Eat Me Daily blog.
