A really awesome project by brazilian design firm let it grow. as a self-promotion item for their firm, they took 100 old wine bottles, painted them all white and then drew different drawings on each one. they then vacuumed sealed the bottles in a black bag along with a slip of paper explaining the project. soooo much cooler than a business card!
This is a pretty awesome TV concept. It solves the problem of displaying either 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratios. Designed by FRST

Citroën new ID
Landor and Citroën have just released the new ID. Following the “get me in 3D please latest trend” the rounded brand is not that bad (altought now it reminds me more like a boomerang than direction) the type on the other hand seems so squoosed vertically/horizontally on the “C + O”, and the uneven “T” or “N” that I’m starting to think the new slogan “keep it simple” must turned out “keep it strange” on the recent years. Great umlaut though ;-)
Brands are really turning silver and shiny:
