Dezeen Music Project: Eat Me (remix) by Zwolf

In this remix British producer Zwolf builds on the haunting, fractured vocals of the original track with a glitchy, fast-paced electronic beat.

The original track by Atlas (aka singer Sarah Hezen) is remarkable in its own right. You can see the music video for it here.

If you aren’t up on NYC design drama, last week, in what one would hope is a publicity stunt and not a self-serious act of protest, Quirky, an invention-development company, put up a billboard and gathered a crowd to draw attention to the similarities between a product they brought to market in 2009 and one OXO, the housewares company, did recently.

Made in Japan by Antrepo

The pared-down logos found on vintage Japanese cameras inspired Istanbul-based design consultancy Antrepo to create conceptual minimal logos for web brands like Facebook, Google and YouTube (+ slideshow).

Made in Japan by Antrepo

Antrepo, led by designer Mehmet Gozetlik, based the Made in Japan project on 35mm SLR cameras manufactured in the 1970s and 1980s.

The designers noticed that cameras made by Canon, Nikon, Pentax and Minolta in that period all featured simple line drawings in place of the brands’ logos, which were normally much bolder.

The line drawings cut production costs by making them easier to apply to the metal camera bodies, Gozetlik explained to Dezeen.

Antrepo took the colourful logos of contemporary web-based companies and services like Instagram, eBay and Twitter and turned them into stark monochrome designs.

The new logos appear to be etched into metal, echoing the appearance of the vintage cameras.

Here’s more information from Antrepo:

Canon AE-1, Nikon FTn, Ashai Pentax ESII, Minolta XG-1 – these cameras are some of the Japanese 35mm SLR cameras from the vintage ’70s and ’80s, the “Made in Japan” era, when Japan set the global standard of producing quality.

Made in Japan by Antrepo

When we take a look at the vintage 35mm cameras, we notice that almost all of these brands used the same style for their logos and typography – line-based logos and extended-outline fonts.

Almost all of these brands used bold logos on their packaging or advertising in the ’70s and ’80s.

The production industry created line-based logos for the metal bodies, probably to cut down the production costs. So we try to see the digital world in the same perspective of this vintage style.
