Logan Walters Returns to the 36 Chambers
Logan Walter's is updating all the Wu-tang album art (group and solo albums)! Yeah, let me repeat that... Logan Walter's is updating all the Wu-tang album art! At first I was a bit unsure if we were allowed to breach the sacred grounds of legendary/iconic albums. These albums are the soundtrack to my high school days and I've held them in such high regard that I've never looked at them with my critical, design-nerd eye. Well, until Mr. Walters has come around and showed us that it can be done. I bring you the first 7 of Logan Walter's redesign of the Wu-tang collection.
To be honest, they are really well designed but I don't think Wu-tang albums can have the same aesthetics as a Blue Note Records albums. The original 36 Chambers album was the rawest and dirtiest thing I'd ever heard in my life. I was horrified of these dudes but I couldn't stop listening to them. I don't think you can have them represented in the same way as Miles Davis or Amos Lee? I think these are awesome designs and they will definitely class up Logan's iTunes album art broweser, but the aesthetics and feel of the album art does not match the music they house.
What does everybody else think?

Bold City Brewery
These labels for Bold City Brewery are out of control!
“In the fall of 2008, Jacksonville, Florida-based Bold City Brewery opened its doors to a community of thirsty beer connoisseurs without a local brew to call their own.
Headed by a mother-son team, Bold City sought a look that would bring character and identity to their selection of brews—as well as tie the beer to its hometown.
The Robin Shepherd Group helped build the brewery’s brand from the ground up, creating a main logo for the brewery, in addition to separate logos for each ale. The Robin Shepherd Group built illustrations that incorporate the Jacksonville skyline and the unique quirks of the brewery and the city. Subjects include Duke, the resident brew hound, an injured and vengeful manatee from the nearby St. Johns River, and “Killer Whale”, the Brew Master’s childhood nickname.
As the brand continues to grow, each logo maintains the levity, hospitality, and hometown pride that Bold City Brewery is now known for.”

Gettin' OFFF
I just came across a promotional opening title sequence for OFFF 2009.
At first I went into it blindly, without reading the details as usual! For a minute I thought it was a title sequence to an actual movie... after the shock wore off I realized it had Neville Brody, Paula Scher and Sagmeister in the credits.
But check it out - it's friggin' intense! Best. Promo Video. Ever.
(Warning: due to extreme awesomeness - this video may cause you to poop your pants)
Check out more videos from OFFF 2009 here.

Milton Glaser
In honor of spending 4 awesome days in NYC - and seeing an abundance of I HEART NY shirts all over the place in a tourist-filled Mnahattan.
For many, Milton Glaser is the personification of American graphic design. Best known for co-founding New York Magazine and the enduring I (heart) NY campaign, the full breadth of Glaser’s remarkable artistic output is revealed in this documentary portrait, MILTON GLASER: TO INFORM AND DELIGHT.
From newspapers and magazine designs, to interior spaces, logos, and brand identities, to his celebrated prints, drawings, posters and paintings, the documentary offers audiences a much richer appreciation for one of the great modern renaissance men.
