A great collection of airline logos from China and Hong Kong. Very interesting to see the similarities between all of them, and whether that’s an argument for design context and influence or simply good observation of what’s appropriate design for airlines I don’t know.See the set here.

Google’s ‘Think Quarterly’ journal presents a very good solution to balancing the relationship between Print and Web presentation.

The print edition is a beautifully designed hardback with evident levels of craft inside it inclusive of great editorial illustrations. No obvious means how to get hold of a copy means I’ll be stuck on the web version, but thankfully the design of the web edition is on par- observing it’s medium and adapting accordingly.

AisleOne’s Flickr stream has a complete scan of the 1976 Montreal Olympics branding guidelines. A fascinating flick through for some very structuralist and functional type layouts, as well as a behind the scenes to how much detail goes into these kinds of documents. I imagine the London 2012 one is even greater in length. Take a look here.

Tony Lee, Jr. works in New York at Pentagram - however his personal portfolio has some gems in, including this experimental book of William Faulkner’s ‘As I Lay Dying’.

The book contains fifteen characters all of whom contribute voice and tone in streams of consciousness as the book goes on.

The experiment here sees each of the voices allocated a different typeface before being typeset within the whole book. Typographically not the easiest feat to pull off, but interesting to take a look at. However the grid is simple, and the use of images help to break up the spreads and make the content more manageable.

Lorenzo Cappelli is behind this fun project - making silent movie title cards for modern day movies.Even if there’s no ‘point’ to the project in terms of application, it’s a great opportunity to just experiment and get better at typography. Nothing wrong with practice and all… Personally I feel he could push them further. See what you think of the series here here.
