Viktor Hertz, the clever artist who brought us the pictogram movie poster sensation, is back with a new soon-to-go-viral project titled Honest Logos. In the series, Hertz hilariously reveals the actual content of the company. Or at least what he thinks they should really be called. Read more

The sum of two passions makes this delight possible. A group of techie lovers of cooking created a way of making an apple pie with the Apple logotype simulating a Mac Mini. The special feature of this recipe is that, once the pie is baked, and in order to be eaten, it has to be sliced with a 45 watt carbon-dioxide laser. And there is no doubt that it leaves a perfect mark. Read more

You’ve probably noticed our new logo sitting next to the rotating banners in the Lost At E Minor masthead. It was the fruits of an on-site logo design contest and is the work of London-based creative director, David Marc Marinelli. We asked David to give us the rationale behind his winning entry and to tell us about some of the logos that have inspired him over the years: ‘The Lost At E Minor name already speaks in volumes. It stands strong and its complexity commands attention, so I knew early on that the logo needed to be a typographic treatment. It also had to be unconventional, and appeal to the diverse but ultimately design-inspired readership. It needed to compliment the content of the site and have the ability to sit next to any piece of artwork with ease’. Read more

We turned it over to you to shape the look of the new Lost At E Minor logo, one that sums up everything this site stands for and rolled up into a design that’s cool and readable. And we had a stack of very clever and creative submissions come in. So now we’d love to know what you think. Check out the entries that we’ve had, and help us decide the winner by leaving a comment under this post or the original design a logo post telling us which of the new Lost At E Minor logos you think we should run with.
From the deep bowels of Patterson, New Jersey, Korean-born artist So Yoon Lym emerges with amazingly realistic paintings of people’s hair and braid patterns. Really awesome, and strangely representative of the Patterson aesthetic. I once made a cameo in a reggaton video that was shot at a boxing club there. Read more
Sometimes the Deviant Art community throws up a gem of a piece. And this one by Papa Ninja is a star. Somehow it’s funny, sexy, and artistically compelling at the same time. Or perhaps that’s just because I’m two hours into the day and haven’t had a coffee yet.
In my next life, I want to sing like Frightened Rabbit frontman Scott Hutchison. Oh, and grow a lush beard, so I can play in their band. Better start cracking.
No, this is not a still from a Dr Who episode. It is, instead, the facade of the Wotruba Church, built between 1974 and 1976 and located in the beautiful Austrian suburb of Mauer, the 23rd district of Vienna. Now, if only all religious buildings were so damn adventurous. It would kinda make Christmas mass more enjoyable. Read more
Hahahaha! Conan rules, and so do all the gals who look like him. Which is a surprising many, according to this freshly launched Tumblr. Read more
I have known Hayden for almost twenty years. He has always released quality music and that is why he can wait four years between releases and his fans are still there. His latest album — In Field & Town — went straight into heavy rotation in our home and I think will extend his fan base further than even he might like.
While I feel I am not alone in breathing a sigh of relief over this season’s purging of fluoro, in retrospect there was a lot to be learned from the experience: don’t wear all fluoro, or don’t wear fluoro at all. And we slowly trudged back to black, which, despite what other colors may think, will always be the new black. Read more

On this Virgin Mary HaloTech watch, the dial is a modern version of the nineteenth century art form of lithophanes, carved porcelain sheets that, when lit, deliver astoundingly detailed images. When the pusher is activated, the dial springs to life in 3D. The watch features a light-up dial, LED light, and afterglo effect. Read more
