Lovely package: Dima Je

Yep, a brief post about a student work seen in lovely package: this time is Dima Je, from Russia. He designed a package for dog food, based on a mixture between a dog face and a bone (very clever in my opinion) with a simple and effective result. Isn't nice?

Madrid 2020 logo design

Never has a logo had so much criticism in such a short time. I'm referring to the one created for the 2020 Madrid Olympic bid.

The winning design, and its subsequent amendments, have managed to distort the original design until all its meaning is lost and rendered it almost unrecognizable. It is unclear whether the logo says M20 or 20020, due to the unfortunate use of a curved typography and the way the letters have been cropped at the bottom.

Here and here (ESP) you can see the other designs that were submitted.

The use of lively colours and rounded ellipses make the logo look like it's selling flip flops and not a city's olympic bid. The initial concept was not that brilliant in execution, but had a foundation and a sense that the re-design has managed to erase completely. This has raised heckles in the field of Spanish graphic design, of course, as it does a disservice to the profession.
Judge for yourselves and draw your own conclusions.

Puxxle

Yep, another post from Lovely Package ;)

In my opinion, it is a cute and original form to present a puzzle and it comes from my country, Spain. I'm really glad to see that there are such a good professionals in the package and graphic design field here.

Puxxle, by YOYO

The Puxxle is obviously  a game, a mixture of the words puzzle and pixel. The collection has 6 puzzles formed from adhesives that can be placed on different surfaces and create stories.

Seen here and here.

If the logos were honest...

Today, I'm going to put a classic post seen in designboom. It is about what if the logos tell us the truth about the brand that are representing. His creator is the Sweddish designer Victor Hertz and revealing the actual content and truth behind the company at hand and its products. Enjoy it!!!
