Rio has got themselves a BIEN Olympic logo.

So people are talking sh*t about the new Olympic logo for Rio in 2016. But I find it...very appealing.

There is a whole lotta hoopla on this site, about how the interlocking hands are drafted from the outline of the most famous mountains in RioRio de Janeiro...whap, whap, whap whap. I think this accurately describes it the best

In contrast to the much debated/hated Wolff Olins identity of the upcoming 2012 Summer Olympics, the Rio 2016 emblem is a traditional take on Olympic identity: a single icon that represents all kinds of Olympic spirit goodness while somehow representing the local visual culture.

And that's that people. Our business is all about opinion and you may not like the simplicity/unoriginality of the idea that is "people holding hands", but in the long run the icon is basically the very definition of what makes a logo. One visual, that has multiple different meanings. It's thought out, well executed, clean, balanced and...looks like it came from Rio (which is the point I believe). I'm not even gonna bring up what london did (ok, I lied), but this....is like 85 times better. I just hope their mascots somehow depicts drug smuggling and kidnapping. I know...I ask for alot.

In other logo related news....Starbucks has a new logo. They have FREED THE SIREN. I really do love talking about the Olympics.

Yeezy Taught Me to hit it in the morning cause im perfectly good at it.

favorite lyrics-

1. The night is still young, drink that dinner wine slow; I’m trying to make the goose bumps on your inner thigh show

4. i want 2011 to be this song.

5. We aint married but tonight I need some consummation

6. Yezzy Taught Me.

8. Sex in the air I don’t care I love the smell of it Sticks and stones May break my bones mBut chains and whips Excite me

Yeezy taught me well.

“Yo, don’t be fooled by them Internet sites with their blog words saying I’m all looking like that chick from Dalmations. It ain’t even got spots!! Yet. This all just the perception of the media using Matt Lauer to play them devil tricks on your eyes, son. Voodoo or some shit. That coat looked fly in my mirror!!!! Like a bear trying to give me a hug or something, but I’m all, ‘Aight, you can hug me, but Imma carry this purse,’ and he all, ‘We cool, we cool.’ C’mon, y’all, I been to Paris!!! They fucking French!!!!”

-Kanye, on the fur coat he wore to lunch with Jay Z

Haha...wat?

The Linkdown:This is a good one.

1. Gods of tennis, play a godly game of tennis. Love-40, Jesus..

2. Happy New Year. So...only America drops a ball, huh? I did not know that.

3. A black president? Youre shitting me.

4. My state us ranker top 3 in Penis size. What say you small penis Wyoming?

5. And then you realize your New Years was subpar.

6. Is your cereal racist?

7. Memo to Brett Farv...you can pay professional for this, dude.

8. So what your saying is, I should choose to have my skin ripped off like a t-shirt.

9. Breast jiggling machine...thank you China.

11. LOST, still effecting people lives.

12. J-Wow on New Years was...WOW.

Monster. Kanye (and a thousand other artists).

Ok...I was kidding before. This is the new MONSTER video by Kanye (and thousands of other artists featuring Jay Z). So everyone was all upside down about this video. I heard it was on the news, and I get it. The first scene is fat as Rick Ross sitting in a chair with three hung women just swing around him. And that's f*cked up.

But alot of the rest of the video...is pretty likeable.

I actually thought tis was a cool effect. The grabbing hands.

Holding a severed head whilst delivering 8 bars....Kanye has probably done this before, which inspored this scene in his video.

Zombies eating a dead carcass. I NEVER have a problem with this. In any scenario.

dead lady on the couch behind Jay Z...meh, doesn't bother me.

And it's Kanye people. He clearly has issues that need to be addressed by a professional. But I'm not hating. I still could do without Nicki Minaj's verse and being. The only thing I would add, are muppet monsters. Kanye....

Gotcha! No really, I cant find this video anywhere on the internets. But the actual video...cannot be better than this one. I just wished they did the whole song. I'm a muthf*ckin monster!!!

Droga 5 (my dream agency...the one in NY) gives us creatives a little something to celebrate in 2011. Read the whole thing here. It's a nice little pick me up for the morning...especially after everyone you know at your job just resigned in 2011. My New Years resolution for this year use to be....NOT HAVING A NEW YEARS RESOLUTION, but I think I'll change it to...having more fun.

Design Minimalism.

So, I have been holding on to this one for awhile. Over at the website A2591, designers did a little project rooted in design simplicity. They took a few packaged products of today and stripped them down to thier design undies.

"...is about simplicity and we try to find alternate simple versions for some package samples of the international brands. We think almost every product needs some review for minimal feeling.

What is your choice in these 3 different variations?
1. Original variation
2. Simple variation
3. More simple variation"

The designers, whose work prose is "New Formulas, For a Better Tomorrow" think they have something here. And I'll admit, it's interesting. The redesign works for alot of the packaging. I don't want to get into a whole design theory class here on this blog, but some would say minimalism...at it's best, is where lack of talent shines. I don't completely agree with that, but picture if every item on the shelf was just a knock-out logo on a solid. I think alot of products would go out of business. Never underestimate the power of brand recognition.

Anyway...check out more here.
