AA battery charging system. Not that I need a new one. But Apple has a way of making rabid fanboys out of even the simplest things. If they can successfully make rechargeable batteries seem cool to the tech set - like they do with almost everything they touch - it could be one of the best things they have ever done for the environment.]]>

copywriter looking for work, what I did uncover is even better. Apparently an Annual Report we did was included in the 2005 Graphis Annual Reports book (anyone have a copy?). It's always nice to find prestigious international awards that you didn't even know you had won! Also, related, the swatchbook set we did for MyBlinds and DMD Insight recently won an American Package Design Award.]]>

Sure, most weddings don't need a logo, but when the couple's first initials can be combined to evoke an infinity symbol, it makes the perfect graphic to represent the rest of their lives together.Patrick

Assembling a world-class roster of provocative speakers from various industries, and culminating in a manifesto to reinvigorate the industry, it aspires to spark a new era of elder care. With that in mind, we developed a logo that imagines a "New & Improved!" aging experience and asked participants to imagine "How do you want to live when you are old?" through the brochure and web site. All with the goal of getting society to think beyond the current options; to imagine - and create - our own better future.]]>

HWKN just launched a cool new web site: Architizer - social media for architects and architecture enthusiasts. Go poke around and learn about some great architecture from around the globe - like Rem Koolhaas' amazing CCTV headquarters in Beijing, or the undulating Aqua Tower which I watched go up in Chicago last year. And of course, I'm partial to this one.]]>
