Neville Brody; Wanker or Genius?



Neville gave his D&AD Presidents Lecture on Wednesday night entitled “Wanker or Genius” to a packed house at the Logan Hall in London. Questions were tweeted from near and far to help steer a conversation which was warmly received as more a call for a design education/industry revolution than retrospective. The conversation touched on recent work, creativity, education and politics. Quite insightful I must say. Neville has accomplished so much in his time and is truly an inspiration for thousands. Below you can see the verdict, enough said...

London 2012 Olympic Pictograms


Really liking the new 2012 olympic pictograms designed by Someone. They definitely carry that same dynamic feel that the logo possesses. Have a look at the full collection over on the London 2012 website.

Keepcup



As far as campaign initiatives go and trying to better the world, Im not sure if Keepcup will catch on because I'm personally not interested in the use of it. But Im not sure about the general public. The design of the cups and brand identity on the other hand are actually something that I quite like. I would probably get the cup and keep it on my shelf for aesthetic reasons. So after completely contradicting myself, I think you guys should probably check it out for yourselves if you havent already. They were being sold at Tent London for the Design festival if you missed it.

The keep cup is a reusable coffee cup that comes in the three standard cafe sizes. the cup allows users to order a coffee to go at their favourite café, while avoiding using a disposable cup. the cup was designed by former café owners fed up with the waste from coffee to go. the two designed the keep cup for use in their café, but its standard sizes make it ideal for any café. the design is made from polypropylene, santoprene and silicone making it lightweight, dishwasher safe and microwaveable. because it mimics the design of paper cups, the keep cup fits better than mugs in espresso machines and a sealable lid keep everything inside. the design even has a sleeve that protect your finger from hot temperatures and allows you to select your drink of choice.

I found this a couple of weeks ago, thought it was quite interesting. The name I thought was actually quite clever. I think it's a bit of a weak attempt at trying to save the world though and make profit. It's a step in the right direction I think but its a just small and temporary measure to try a fix a problem that is huge. If 2.6 billion people will use it I guess it's a good move and definitely needs positive feedback. check the website...
