What an incredibly delightful design from vintage Air Canada.
Vintage Science & Tech Adverts is an astonishing collection of print advertisements going way back to the 50′s and 60′s.
With the fantabulous success of the Unevolved Brands project, I thought it would be neat to take a look at various well known brand icons, opposed to brand identities.
What started as just a few odd logos in my first post on these Unevolved Brands ended up being a daily maintained project with it’s own Tumblr website and Flickr set.
Short and sweet selection of logo and identity guidelines from the 1976 Montreal Olympic games, conveniently provided by AileOne on Flickr
Some equisite works of art by Michæl Paukner on Flickr.
These works by Brodsky & Utkin, rather marvelous don’t you think? Found on ButDoesitFloat.
So far, over 5 pages of logo redesigns for the Greenpeace logo redesign competition, some nice idea’s in this Flickr set. With such tag lines as ‘Broken Promises’, ‘British Poisen’, ‘Bloody Planet’, ‘Biological Pathogen’, ‘Big Profits’, ‘Below Pride’, ‘Beyond Pollution’, & ‘Bad People’ the Real BP, will have some challenge to shed all these negative associations.
A nice collection of photographs showing each page of the Barbican Identity Guidelines. Flickr set put together by Alastair Jones.
The hit Television series Lost has sporned a whole alternative culture, mostly focused on the Dharma Initiative. These vintage Dharma adverts are just classic, they really capture this sub culture and way of life.
A drool worthy collection of photos from the ‘New York City Transit Authority Graphics Standard Manual 1970′ designed by Massimo Vignelli.
Collection of vintage logos from a mid-70′s edition of the book World of Logotypes. This Flickr set has done the rounds countless times, with views in excess of 4568. Time to include a link to it here.
Another Flickr set of logos from Oliver Tomas, this time based on 1960′s and 1970′s Scandinavian (Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway) design logos, covering : furniture, textiles, glass, porcelain, housewares.
Just had to share these photos of typography in and around New York City. Taken by a friend of mine, Maxine (wander_by_trade), they show a bewildering variety of typography based subway signage, posters, general signs as well as decades old wood and stone building engravings. Not to mention the odd appearance of Helvetica.
A huge selection of vintage logos taken from a 1970′s book called ‘World of Logotypes’. This is a great Flickr set and was put together by Mr Carl. Definitely worth a look as its gives you an appreciation of work and styles done decades ago, yet many still look fresh. Logotypes, logomarks, initials, monograms, icons, symbols, every style of logo is there.
