Another take on the Tokyo 2020 Olympics logo
Another take on the Tokyo 2020 Olympics logo

The Tokyo 2020 Olympics logo is a disaster. It’s not a matter of design, the official logo doesn’t look too bad. The problem comes from all the controversy that came with the creation of the logo. The first logo proposal was abandonned because of plagiarism accusations, so there is a lot of bad PR around the branding […]

100% non-organic milk packaging

I don’t know where this picture was taken, I found it on the r/crappydesign sub-reddit. I found it was the perfect example of how bad handling of small design details could become a disaster. In this case, it wouldn’t take much to improve it and turn it into a normal package design (although it would […]

10 logo designs with a clever concept
10 logo designs with a clever concept

Graphic designers’ job consists mostly of transmitting messages in a simple, visual manner (to make it short). This is never as obvious as with logo design. A logo must express concepts in a matter of second, with very little visual elements used. While not always the most pretty, the following logos are great examples of […]

In France for example, it was forbidden to use curvy pictures on posters to advertise erotic movies in the 1970s. For that reason, porn movie producers had to be creative to […]

Obviously, having your designs rejected by Stanley Kubrick isn’t exactly like being rejected by your local garage for their newspaper ads. On this post you can see the five first designs submitted by […]

Layout-wise, the covers feature a simple yet elegant design, with a minimalist approach to the title and other typographic elements.
