- Wow!- Herman Miller’s new ‘Embody‘ chair. Designed by Jeff Weber and Bill Stumpf, it’s designed specifically for long time computer use, promoting ‘health positive sitting’ and apparently supports ‘your body and your mind’. Looks amazing and I can’t wait to try one out!
- LoGoReDo - Johnson Banks attempt to redesign the BT logo as part of their LoGoReDo project. To me this highlights the problems with designing out of context. Their updated logo just doesn’t work though I’m not saying that the original is that good anyway. Their first attempt was a re-design of the T-Mobile logo. Too much idle time perhaps!
- TeeFury! - Limited edition t-shirts that are updated daily. Some great designs and cheap as well!
