Geometry of the Mint logo This is one of those things that I have always meant to blog about but never made the time for. A Flickr is worth a thousand words. 

DINcing with the Stars The use of DIN sans leading in the new New York City Ballet logo is a tad uninspired. That said, if anything could get me into a seat at the ballet, it would probably be DIN.

Veerle’s What is Graphic Design? Poster Competition There’s already a lot of great work in the Flickr pool and there appears to be plenty of cool prizes to go around too. I threw something together this morning. What are you waiting for?

Even better, Clear Dock Now that’s what I’m talking about—and it’s haxie-free to boot! (via theronin) 

Burden The strong have always been burdened by the weak. It may not always seem fair, but helping where you can is “the right thing to do.” In the case of the ongoing X-UA-Compatible bluster, the strong are the savvy standardistas. The weak? Those who simply don’t know any better. The burden? A single meta tag or http header. Can we move on now?

Minimalist Web Design Showcase Perishable Press reviews ShaunInman.com in the context of their minimalist design series with a mini-interview at the end. I’m obviously biased but I thought it was an interesting read. 

2008 AIGA Ten Show Deadline has been extended to Feb 29th. Sweet, now we can enter our Pixel Portrait person cards. (Wasn’t able to get the cards out in time. Oh well, they’re still eligible for next year.)
