Just a bit of catching up, here are some things I liked over my hectic summer. Click on the images to go to their source.
Something about this Concorde ticket holder from 1963 just awes me. I can’t remember what my recent ticket holders looked like but I know none of them were this beautiful. That white on black tightly kerned Concorde is perfect, and I love how the lowercase “i” in “airways” is missing the dot so that the even space between the two words isn’t disrupted.
I don’t much about this, other than that it is some kind of diagram, it’s from 1887, and it’s awesome.
Clever and well executed photo by David Skyes, plus I’m a sucker for balloons.
As most people already know, Mark Weaver does a lot of cool stuff, but this is probably my favorite. EDIT: It’s avaliable as a print on his Etsy store.
Pretty sweet cake design, the noisy iphone photo quality only adds to it in my opinion.
I’m tempted to buy this print of a Sarah Watts illustration for an M. Ward show; that elephant is amazing!
This is totally the type of toy I’d want my future kids to have, but $35 is a little steep. Doesn’t look too hard to make though…
Speaking of cameras, how awesome is this Polaroid Swinger? I’d love to have one just to look at.
Golden Porsche Sessions is still churning out mysterious graphics that delight and intrigue me. That font is beautiful!
This is the winner of a logo contest for the Hugo Awards judged by Irene Gallo, Neil Gaiman, and Chip Kidd. This might be one of my favorite logos ever and for some reason I want to describe it as “charming”.

If I wasn’t in so much debt already, and if I was rather wealthy, and was feeling exceptionally nice that day, I’d surprise you with one in the mail. But that’s in a different world, my fine-feathered friend. A different world.
My friend has that polaroid camera. Just took photos of it yesterday. I’ll have them up on Flickr sometime….
