The Next Level

Best Nike ad i've seen for a while - shot by Mr Madonna.

I also love the way that the credits state that the music was 'composed' by The Eagles of Death Metal.

3122

My name is the 3122 most commonly used word in the English Language and is used slightly more than the word Killing.





Word Count has been around for a while but i recently rediscovered it - it's from the guys behind We feel fine, etc and is fascinating.

Did(70) you(14) know(83) that(7) No(51) is(9) much(101) more(54) commonly(3579) used(136) than(90) Yes(146).

Well you do now.

Design imitating life...

The design below is the new 14k logo for the Office of Government Commerce.



All well and good until someone pointed out that when it's on its side it looks like a man having a crafty shuffle.


Couldn't be more appropriate for a government organisation if you ask me.


Here's the story

Hostile Hostel

A good friend of mine works for a Hostel/hotel booking agency and received this picture from a potential client who wants to go on their books - i shit you not!


Awesome photo mind you.

Lawnemower

Teenagers, or anyone else for that matter, that self-harm is in no way something to laugh about.

That said, comedy is comedy and this made me piss myself.

Look at this.

I want to take you back to an age of innocence. An age of scrumping for apples, not stabbing for iPods. An age of being able to walk to school without any pedophilia phobias. An age of ladybirds, not ladyboys (well i hadn't heard of such a thing back then anyway).

Yes Ladybird have put all their books online, you can't read them but you can buy prints of the artwork - excellent stuff.


This was my favourite book as a child.

UT Loop

Another cracker from Uniqlo.

Simple and fun for a simple and fun product. (Well, as 'fun' as t-shirts can be i guess)

RoboCopperplate Gothic Bold

Excellent work from Jonathon Yule. His Font Bots series is a bunch of robots made out of sans serif fonts. Futura looks well hard.
