Heartbleed, The First Security Bug With A Cool Logo | TechCrunch

It’s been fascinating to watch news of heartbleed, the massive OpenSSL exploit, spread on the web. After years of quietly putting us at risk, the general web user became aware of the exploit only a few days ago, and probably via heartbleed.com.

Logos in Lego Town

I love the list of 'fictional universes' on Wikipedia. It contains everything from The Simpsons to Star Trek to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The Fictional Universes database on Freebase is even better, as it contains thousands of details about the universes, such as species, objects, and even ethnicities.

Ironic Sans: You got your picture in my logo

(via)
I’ve been noticing logos lately that have replaced letters with pictures. I think it’s fascinating how the brain just fills in the blanks, whether or not the pictures actually resemble the letters they replace. Various studies have shown that we don’t look at the letters which make up words as much as we look at the shapes of the words as a whole. In fact, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The brain just takes care of the rest.

Au Blason des Armoiries : Héraldique, art et science du blason

L’héraldique, ou science des armoiries, étudie les symboles peints, gravés ou dessinés, propres à chaque famille en possédant. Ces symboles ont pour support un écu formant un blason, qui peut être surmonté d’un cimier et, éventuellement d’une couronne, supporté par des animaux allégoriques (supports) ou des personnages (tenants), et illustré d’un listel où figure une devise. Cet ensemble constitue l’armoirie. Hubert Lamant-Duhart, Armorial du Pays-Basque

GASO - la banque du blason

C'est le support de votre blason. Il peut avoir plusieurs formes : la plus classique, qui découle de la forme du bouclier, est l'écu "ancien" en forme d'ogive renversée. On adoptera au XVIIe siècle l'écu dit "moderne" à base en forme d'accolade, plus facile à utiliser pour des compositions complexes. Un écu aux proportions harmonieuses doit avoir une hauteur équivalant à peu près aux 7/6 ou 8/7 de sa largeur. Il est très facile de construire un écu ancien avec seulement une règle graduée et un compas. Il suffit de partir de la largeur de l'écu et de suivre les indications.

shillPages - Movie Title Screens Page

What good is it? Whatever use you put it to. Browse and admire title and logo designs, check out movies that have completely different titles in different release prints (see Battle of Britain or The Premature Burial for good examples), check out the differences in multiple releases of the same title (see Aliens or Invasion of the Body Snatchers for a good example), check to see just how "wide" is the widescreen (width/height=aspect ratio... and does it match the sleeve description?)... use the logo when designing a web page for your favourite movie...include the title screens in your video database... the possibilities are... well, not endless, but many! Please note that the aspect ratio shown is merely calculated from the image size and, although very close to the actual ratio, may not be 100% accurate.

Peter Saville said “I find it a bit cheesy. Those rings don’t sit happily within that angular form and the typographic expression of London is a little insecure and apologetic. On the other hand, it’s incredibly noticable, brave and confrontational. Designs which are effective are abrasive on our sensibilities initially, that is how they work. It doesn’t have to be nice because they are familiar, while a great design forges a new aesthetic. It’s real job is to be a catalyst for awareness of the Olympics and it’s doing that already”. Rita Clifton of Interbrand said the logo would not be to everyone’s taste but would engage its target audience of young people successfully. “It’s got that Marmite factor

Si l’on examine l’ensemble de ces marques on constate globalement une mise en perspective des projets ou du moins des positionnements politiques de chacun des partis représentés. Mais dire que ces marques sont vraiment porteurs des valeurs contemporaines des préoccupations des électeurs, il y a un pas.

Flickr: The Web 2.Oh No! Pool

by 2 others
The original intention of this little collaboration was to make a mockery of the current web 2.0 design style. It poked fun at major companies foolishly branding and rebranding without considering the effects of a trend. Most of the designers who participated understand the humor behind the initial idea and intentionally made poor, obvious logo mashups.

But even more characteristic among these brands is their appearance. Web 2.0 sites nearly always feel open and friendly and often use small chunks of large type. The colors are bright and cheery — lots of blue, orange, and what we jokingly call the official color of Web 2.0: lime green.
