Exercises In Branding

First off: UGH. I've been such a bad blogger. Christmas is so time-consuming, you guys. ANYWAY...

My friend C sent this rad link about could-have-been Obama campaign logos, and it got me thinking that 1) god, I love fonts and 2) god, I love branding. I the last couple years, I've been particularly drawn to logo art and logos-as-art. A few of my faves:

A. The Liquidated Logos from Zevs, this Parisian street artist. He does Coke, Mickey D.'s, etc. too, but I love the fashion ones.From MocoLoco

B. The Learn the Basics puzzle for babies by Atypyk. Yes, I know that the concept of acquainting tots with the Nike swoosh is foul, but come on. You can't deny the coolness of the design or the statement it makes.From Core77
