Karen Horton’s stamp collection is always intriguing, but I found this recently added Nigerian Peaceful Use of Outer Space stamp to be so amazing that I just had to spotlight it here. The colors, the type, and the illustrations are amazing, and I would marry that gritty background gradient if I could.
Here are some things I’ve recently like enjoyed. Be sure to click on the images if you want to see where they came from! This made me laugh, I don’t think I ever seen anything else brag that the product was so new that the package design wasn’t completed yet. This photo by Heather Raye [...]
The amazing design book collector/sharer Jonathan Turner (insect54) started a Flickr group called Autografik for images of vehicles with modern graphic design applied to them. There’s a lot of good stuff in there and the group is just getting started!

I especially loved the type in the upper image that I posted, which turns out to be a typeface called Treasury. Via design [...]
I’m trying something new where every Sunday I will hopefully post a smattering of things that I recently liked, but didn’t want to dedicate an entire post to. Click on the image to go to it’s source.
I really love the colors and type in this old cookbook page scanned in by Pete Ryan.
This Exercising Together album cover from 1982 has to be the most fabulous thing I have seen in weeks. I love how they are shamelessly trying to cash in on the E.T. movie’s hype.
