Here’s an awesome collection of vintage maps that Scott Hansen has compiled. I love this kind of stuff and I always scour eBay for these gems. The simplicity of these cover designs is fantastic. I wish they still looked this good. We now have to settle for this kind of crap.

For all those typography obsessed designers out there Fred Flare has type soap, looking as cool as an iceberg on a hot summer day! I myself couldn't bear to get it wet but would find it a home in my studio. Via Swiss Miss

A few logo links from the past week or so.

Loving this logo design for Martin Newcombe property maintenance.

The FontFeed have reported on a new product placement logo, introduced by TV, radio and production company RTL.

Was there really any need for so many iterations on this Firefox logo before and after? I think not.

Nissan Cube vs Moodgadget logo, on ISO50 Blog. Check out those wheels (one giant leap for moon buggies).

Tony Spaeth of Identity Works has launched an accompanying blog, Identity Forum. It kicked off with an insightful post by Jerry Kuyper, The Bug, the Worm and the Death Star, discussing logos and their names.

Save Your Logo is a novel idea. (via Quipsologies)

“Many species of flora and fauna can be found in the logos of companies, universities and organisations…

Save Your Logo provides an opportunity to invest in the conservation of the species seen in these logos.”

Finally, I’ll leave you with what is probably the most useless logo design tutorial I’ve had the misfortune of witnessing. It’s too bad not to share.

You can thank @logoholik for the pleasure.

Do you have any logo links you can recommend?
