http://tinyurl.com/ydt84q9 Fantastic interpretation of Avatar. Navigates beyond facile left, right, and art-movie snob snarks and jabs (hippie! anti-capitalist! noble savage! simplistic story! cats!) etc… and makes a case for it as a superlative fable – a new and worthwhile addition to the tradition of stories we tell ourselves to make sense of the universe and the human condition. Plus, dooood – floating mountain rainbow dragon awesomeness!

One of our favorite blogs, Logo Design Love, is a site devoted to news, trends, and generally cool projects in the branding world. The blog’s author, Irish graphic designer David Airey, has just recently published a book by the same name and has filled it with lovely logos, anecdotes, and tips from designers and agencies around the world. We were proud to be included in this love letter to logos and brand identities, which features our work for the City of Boston’s Downtown Crossing and Woodmere Art Museum.
The book is chock-full of input from well-known designers like Gerard Huerta, designer of many high-profile logos including Time Magazine and Waldenbooks, and Lindon Leader, creator of the current FedEx brand. Click here for a sneak peek at a free chapter. Also, if you’re interested in seeing more of our work for Downtown Crossing and Woodmere, check out our case studies on the 160over90 web site here and here.

Soon, everything you own will be available in Star Wars format. Which I, for one, am comfortable with, as long as I never see a KitchenAid Jar Jar Edition Stand Mixer. Check out these 2010 collaborations between the franchise and Adidas. They had me at the Millennium Falcons, though the Dagobahs look pretty comfortable for lounging around on the weekend or during your self-imposed exile in your swamp hut.
What’s your favorite sneaker collaboration of the last decade?
