WSJ: The Man Behind the MLB Logo →
The MLB logo is one of my favorite logos of all time. It has a timeless quality. I hope they never change it.
Brand New: Pepsi, New Bottles →
Terrible. What was wrong with the old logo? Why is the new one so unbalanced? I honestly don’t get it. Someone will have to explain this to me. Shame they couldn’t do what Coke did with their branding.

Nothing against the Cheesesteak, but a good Taco is far superior.
Cabel: On Wedding Design →
Fantastic from the pixel versions of Cabel and his bride to the letter pressed wedding invitations to the pixel flower on his ring. Also love the use of Metroscript, definitely one of my favorite script faces.
