These typographic hedges can be seen here Photos by Andrew Budge. Would be nice to have giant ones in your garden to create a typography maze. I love mazes. I think there’s something in that idea!

Avant Gandhi. Genius.

Nice sentiment. A big idea conveyed in a simple humble way. Very nice.

I just love this image. I’d been wanting to do something for ages with these colours, and then i spotted this. Textural black and white photography with stark yellow shapes multiplied over. The contrast between the form underneath and the sharpness of the geometric shape does something to the image that makes it so much stronger. And here the use of type is spot on. Looks like a music, design and culture magazine. I can’t read german, but if you read it let me know what you think ?

More Black White and Yellow below and new typeface Myld, which looks to be an adaptation of Avant Garde. More typographic sexiness over at TypeNeu blog.

Eric Carl has this amazing collection of old school logos on his flickr. I’m not sure which book they are from, but i’ve seen similar books around from the 70’s. No-one ever wants to sell them though! Interesting how new some of them look. Millions more to gorge yourself on, in A-Z order here. He’s also collected some vintage book covers and advertising - and there’d Eric own illustration work to see to.

I’ve got this tea towel at home. I wish i hadn’t used it, and had made a bag out of it or a pillow case. If you don’t know London too well i could imagine it might be a handy bag to have on you There’s so much detail in the hand drawn type, it’s great. I love this green table cloth as it reminds me of sticker sheets with all the stickers missing. There’s something quite satisfying about that for some reason…

These three beauties are from We Shall See. A blog written by Chris Gray, who spends his days at LOVE - the Manchester based studio - who seem to be doing some of the best work i’ve seen in a long time. You can see in everything they do that they really do love it. That’s quite something, and a bit of an inspiration. Lots and lots of nice ideas and beautiful executions on Chris’s site so if you’ve not clicked on anything else yet - click on this.

Skar. I like this font, but mostly i like it because it’s been made from cutout paper and scanned in. A nice chunkiness to it. Great choice of colour too ; ) See more of Jónas’s work here.

These are great. Custom handmade felt rugs by John Pour Home. I can see a Monster-Munch bath matt appearing soon! What a nice idea, and so simple. Good work John! And thanks for the link Tommy Vegas

Lovely work by Jeff Canham, San Franciscan artist. Don’t miss his Gallery Work ( and lots more besides ) plus this timelapse movie of a sign for Mollusk Surf Shop in New York.

Oh! So good. Love the Love, perfect colours and very subtle wire texture. Most gorgeous thing i’ve seen in ages. The digital contrasted with the hand drawn, the wobbly-lined flyer for Lush is busting with character. The type on the back is a wonderful combination of hand typefaces that create an, oddly, both vintage and modern feel. I can’t get enough of hand drawn type. The swishing curves of the logo are plump it looks almost squeezable. Yum. Love is by graphic designer Paul Barnes ( designer of the KateMoss logo and the Guardian typeface ) and Lush I believe is by Alex Ginter via german site Slanted.

Nice looking, if indecisive, Yes No Yes No tee from Graniph. Reminds me of something you’d look at with 3D glasses Great colours. Really into the hand-drawn type at the minute. Via Ffffound.

I like this. Pertinent to the compulsive blogger i think Spray can and silkscreen by THEMES - an artist duo based in Vevey, Switzerland formed by Thomas Koenig & Mathias Forbach.

This one’s for you ; ) Watch the Helvetica Clock in action here. Art Direction by Yugo Nakamura, software by Tha the guys behind Ffffound. Download it here.

A typeface by Robert Samuel Hanson. Everything in his portfolio is worth a look, which is something you can’t often say. Don’t miss Household Bugs and in particular Circular I and II. It’s the details that make you smile : )
