50 Stunning Examples of a great redesign


Liam at Function Web Design & Development posted an interesting article about his favorite 50 examples of great redesigns.

He picks some good ones, and it is always fun to look back. I had not seen the original Microsoft logo, which was pretty terrible!

My personal faves on his list: The Simpsons (above), MailChimp, Firefox, Amazon.com, BBC and Barack Obama.

Typographic Marks Unknown

Alexander Charchar wrote an interesting article about the history of certain typographic marks. Did you know that "paragraph marks" were really called Pilcrows? Me either!

Mad Men: Realistic depictions of 60's typography?


Mad Men is a fabulous show. I love the style and the soapiness of it. Mark Simonson posted a great article about whether or not the typefaces used in Sterling Cooper's ads and in the show's titles are really relative to the era or not. They are typically spot-on with a few minor blips.
