United State Mint Rebrands with Shiny New Logo and Box Sets
Posted in: Uncategorized
Outside of what we use to feed meters and buy penny candy, we’ll admit we don’t know a thing about the United States Mint other than that they make those shiny pieces of metal. That’s apparently the problem they’ve been having and they’ve hired branding firm Siegel + Gale to fix it. Launching a new branding campaign called “Connecting America Through Coins” (pdf), the firm has focused their first efforts on both a new logo, featuring a mid-air flipped coin, and redesigning the Mint’s Annual Sets, annual collections of coins that are “a significant portion of [the Mint]’s retail business.” We dig the new look of the box sets they’ve redesigned and would buy one if we had any coins of our own. Other than selling these sets, we’re still not entirely sure why we need to be more aware of the Mint, but we were happy to hear from them and see that they’re making the effort. Now please send us 20 boxes. We need them for review purposes.

Sergio Garcia’s mind- and frame-bending tricycle

pUS-based artist Sergio Garcia’s 50″-tall tricycle is the kind of thing you give to your kid after they’ve been bad, as a sort of psychological punishment. What would be really awesome is if your little hellion not only learned to ride it, but powered it down a hill and completed a loop-de-loop at the bottom.br /

Architecture-inspired business cards by Vistaprint.com
Posted in: Uncategorized
Dezeen promotion: business stationary brand Vistaprint have introduced a range of customisable business cards inspired by architecture and design.
The collection of over 100 new designs is inspired by trends in design, fabrication details and architectural structures.
Here are some more details from Vistaprint:
Architecture-inspired business cards by Vistaprint.com
Vistaprint.com has introduced a new collection of over 100 business cards inspired by trends in modern architecture and design. The designers decided to create the fully-customizable documents as a counterpoint to our successful antique-inspired business cards.
The creative team found inspiration from a range of design blogs (including Dezeen), trend reports, and their surroundings in Barcelona, where the office is located. The Shanghai Expo was opening as they began work on the business identity sets, so it served as a particularly inspiring source.
The team riffed on fabrication techniques such as laser-cutting and etching in their designs. In addition, rigorous structural elements came into play.
Vistaprint typically creates industry-specific designs for small business owners, but these business cards were aimed at providing a broadly applicable stylistic offering that could appeal to an aesthetically exacting range of customers: architects, engineers, programmers, DJ’s, consultants, and high-end craftsmen, among others.
In the last six months, Vistaprint.com has established a full strategy and design team in their Barcelona-based office to address the needs of markets in Europe. Their efforts have resulted in over 500 business identity designs targeting European trends, including the ones seen above. To see more designs, check out vistaprint.com
