Well executed minimalist branding identity designed by James Kape. Speed Republic is - a small start-up company specializing in trade of hi-end motor vehicles in South Africa.

The latest work for Honda by Wieden + Kennedy is an interactive online experience that takes its cues from the way Street View allows users to move and look around a 360 degree photographed environment. Only there’s no streets here…

I can’t actually get this working in my browser for some reason, so I’ll link to the creative review post instead which has a good deal of extra info. HERE.

Photographs by Ryan Schude

Small Austrian design firm Atelier Olschinsky were commissioned to take editorial photographs in and around the Red Bull Ring for Nevertheless magazine.

I’m not massively into cars, but the Road Inc. iPad app is the kind of thing that I find interesting - essentially designed as a handheld car museum.

The app has a collection of 50 vehicles - each of which have been fully recreated and modeled in 3D alongside archival photos, history, and soundbites to check out.

It’s a well designed package, and without an iPad I can only take a look at the videos. Grab the app at their site here.

CHEVROLET Viking truck (1960) Graphic Designer Christian Annyas has put together a small retrospective of Chevrolet speedometer designs from the history of the car manufacturer. There’s an amazing consistency amongst the designs until you hit the digital age. It’s a real shame I can’t find higher-res versions… Enjoy the set here.

Kate Peters photography ‘Ask the Dust’ contains a great set of images worth a look through. In fact all of her projects and portfolio combined create a brilliant collection of work. On top of that she studied photography here in Falmouth. Good stuff. Check it here.

Christopher Hall has a real eye for framing and documenting what most would consider mundane, everyday, or forgotten. He recently put out a book titled ‘Home is Where the Car Is’ and I’m a massive sucker for American vintage cars. See his Flickr Follow his Tumblr

Graphic Design peer and pal Ryan Bartaby sits opposite me in the studio. He often can’t decide if he wants to be a graphic desginer or a photographer… His rather nice photos make it apparent why.

François-Charles (French design/everything blogger) has just put up this amazing piece of vintage car advertising… I found these vintage Citroën brochures in my father’s studio. He worked on them in the 60s when he was working at « Delpire », one of the most creative french agencies of that period. It’s interesting to see how pamphlets like these are just so different now. Incredibly glossy, with loads of close up shots of the car often driving in a desert or on an empty motorway. See more photos/scans here.

Part of Martin Usborne’s photography project looking at dogs in their owner’s cars. It’s great how they seem to suit each vehicle. See the whole set here.

Photographer Benedict Redgrove has a wicked little series of photos showing off Bertone cars. They don’t look real they’re so futuristic…

‘While Italians take cars seriously, it doesn’t mean they cannot have some fun with them. The advertising campaign for the special edition of the Bologna Motor Show 2009 takes full advantage of this. With toys in a retro home playing at taking themselves seriously — including Barbie-like dolls and toy cars and bikes — the advertising campaign pokes fun at the clichés about boys and their toys, hot girls and hot cars.’
