BRANDING | Lucy's Fried Chicken

Media_httpwwwpentagra_dgbgm
via pentagram.com

In the age of low-cal low-carb fare, it looks like fried chicken is alive and well in Austin, Texas!

Pentagram recently posted a spread about the brand they've developed for Lucy's Fried Chicken and it's a fun mix of vintage style and contemporary design. I love the simple script logo and the accompanying monogram (in the shape of an egg, of course). The color scheme, too, is just vibrant enough to be fun and casual.

Lots of other images at the link!

PRINT | Coasters With A Twist

Media_httpwwwundercon_rnddo
via underconsideration.com

I've confessed this before, but...I really do love a fun coaster...

This holiday-themed set is enjoyable primarily because they come pre-stained with a wet glass ring (actually, a varnish). It's a fun touch that makes an everyday item more unique.

PRINT + GRAPHICS | Sundance Film Festival

Media_httpwwwpentagra_guxcc
via pentagram.com

The 2012 Sundance Film Festival features graphics designed by Pentagram. As with most events of this type, the design standards were used for everything from print materials to environmental graphics to merchandise.

I appreciate the way in which the 'motif' (for lack of a better word) was effectively used in the film catalog - incorporating the fragmented aesthetic into limited areas of the book. And, I think the overall concept made for some interesting design opportunities throughout the different media.

PRINT | Cafe at Casa Cor 2006

Media_httpwwwundercon_fiqbv
via underconsideration.com

Menus for this temporary Brazilian cafe were printed on cloth -- a beautifully unique touch. I really love the warmth of the simple 2-color design, along with the playful typography.

I hope the menu-on-cloth idea gains some footing. It's a wonderful idea, in my humble opinion.

PRINT | Segal Centre Season Posters

Media_httpwwwundercon_atuac
via underconsideration.com

Canada's Segal Center commissioned these colorful posters to start their 6th season of theater. The designers, Mookai, were given "carte blanche," as they put it, to interpret the subject of each play as they saw fit.

The result is a colorful array of interesting prints that are works of art in their own right.

PRINT | Henry + Co

The execution of black business cards can be a challenge - how to create interest without the use of multiple colors? In this case, stark white foil printing with a strong embossed emblem.

PRINT | Howler Business Cards

Media_httpwwwbeastpie_psdaj
via beastpieces.com

Designed to reference penalty cards from the world's favorite game (soccer/football), these cards were printed with tonal inks that provide subtle - and beautiful - contrast to the papers selected.

It's often challenging to create a card that stands out from the usual fare, but these do a nice job of doing just that.

PRINT | Egg & Dart

Media_httplovelystati_llkjj

I happened upon these dimensional (in appearance, anyway) cards while catching up on some older blog posts and thought it was worth a quick post.

I like the visual interest created by the design. It manages to catch one's attention without trying too hard.
