Interesting Logo Rebranding

Interesting rebranding for Seattle's Best Coffee. I have noticed that many companies are desiring to give a more clean, simple look to their products packaging or product logos, but does it get to a point that it becomes generic looking? Only time will tell on this new logo. Read a full article about people's thoughts on this change here!

Shipping Box Turns Into a Hanger

This awesome award winning package design is called the Hangerpak by new designer Steve Haslip. It also comes in a variety of colors. It's like magic, first a shipping box then a hanger. Genious!

Cardboard Office

I was reading my May 2009 GD USA magazine and came across this article about this Amsterdam ad agency with the name Nothing that created their office all out of cardboard. I was of course very intrigued by this concept and took a spin on their website { here } to see more pictures.

At first I loved the idea...and then the more I thought about it, I thought about what it would really be like to have a cardboard desk, shelves, table, etc. I don't know about others, but it would drive me absolutely crazy. The tears, the scratches, the eventual worn look. In about a year I wondered if the cardboard would be all tattered looking and difficult and dirty because of the difficulty in cleaning it. Anyways, it is an interesting concept that's for sure!

2010 Pantone Color Forcast

Apartment Therapy recently posted an article about the 2010 Pantone color forcast that was on display at the Home & Housewares show. Some very bright and fun colors, which I of course love! And it looks like purple is going to take center stage!

GREENMARKET
{ inspired by brightly colored food...yummy! }


GATHERINGS
{ inspired by the African culture which also makes me wonder...Obama becoming President }


GALAXY
{ maybe inspired by the mystery of when this economic crisis will come to an end }


I'm so excited as this is perfect timing as I'm in the middle of picking my colors for my new house!
