Tall Tales Logo

I love this logo for Tall Tales restaurant concept, which will be located in Gander Mountain retail stores (USA). The first location will be opening soon in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Notice the goose and fish in the antlers? Very cool. More great work from Duffy & Partners.

Stones' tongue sold to V&A museum

The original design was in black and white

The original artwork for The Rolling Stones' iconic lips and tongue symbol has been bought by London's Victoria and Albert Museum. The logo, originally designed in 1970 and used by the rock band ever since, sold in the US for $92,500 (£51,375). Half the cost was met by charity The Art Fund, which called the work "one of the most visually dynamic logos ever"...and I agree! Even my little sister has a t-shirt adorned with this famous logo, and she doesn't even know who the Rolling Stones are! I think this is quite a shame in some respects, how this logo has been over used, it somewhat devalues it in my opinion, especially when it is no longer immediately related to the Rolling Stones by younger generations.

Artist John Pasche, who sold the artwork, was originally paid £50 for creating the design.

Olympic logos from 1924 to 2012.

As you may gather, I've become a tad obssessed by the Olympics this year. I came across this link, showcasing the Olympic logos from 1924 to 2012. Some good, some very bad...my fave is by far the Mexico 1968 games, maybe because the retro style has bacome fashionable in recent years, but I just love the type, and this identity seems so much more adventurous than others.

Masa Identities

Various identities, by Masa, many of which are in neon pink and black! I particularly like these two. They also have a very nice website: http://www.masa.com.ve/website.html

'Masa's work has strong emphasis in the research of Latin American pop culture and worldwide contemporary street culture. The result is a crossover where urban and folklore references get blended together to produce fresh ideas and strong brand identities in every work.'
