50 Fantastically Clever Logos. I know everybody and their brother does logo roundups so you’re probably sick of them, but I don’t believe I’ve ever done one and there is a particularly impressive brand of logo design that I wanted to point out. Today we’ll look at 50 logos that are the result of going beyond the typical thought process and injecting a little wit and hidden symbolism into the design process. What Makes a Logo Clever? To explain what I mean by “clever” logo design, let’s take a look at a typical logo, (i.e. one that isn’t clever). The logo above is a nice piece of work. However, my favorite type of logo design is that which takes the assignment one step further.

These types of logos make you smile at the brilliance of both the idea and the execution and have several layers of meaning that can hit you in waves. I’ve broken down this collection into three categories: visual double entendres (two things in one), word and character art, and ambigrams. Visual Double Entendres Lion Bird Chad 2010 I love this one. Rolling through the Bay by Scott Weaver.

Minas Tirith Made From Matchsticks | 10 Times One. Minas Tirith was always the better Minas. Not because good is better than evil which can actually be debated, and not because it looks cooler, which can also be argued against. But because it’s the capital of Gondor, dude! And you can’t dispute that. For the 3 of you that don’t know what I’m talking about, Minas Tirith is the legendary site of the final battle between the dark forces of Sauron and everyone else in Middle Earth.

I’m not gonna say who won, but you’ll probably be happy if you’re a fan of Viggo Mortensen. 8So anyway, just to prove he was a bigger fan of Lord of the Rings than anyone else in the world, a local man from Iowa decided he’d recreate the castle city as it was visualized by Peter Jackson’s theatrical design crew (but not necessarily as staunch Tolkien fans might have done it), and with painstaking detail he came up with this simply amazing piece of work.

His preferred medium is non-sulfur tip matches and uses pliers to crimp the tiny pieces into shape. Sandy Noble’s Polargraph Drawing Machine. I was checking out some photos emerging from this weekend’s Interesting 2011 conference held in London (there was a world record attempt at ping pong ball mouse trap nuclear fission, among other things) when I stumbled onto a portrait of the group’s organizer Russel Davies being drawn with a very strange device. It turns out the robotic drawing machine was built by maker/designer/craftsman Sandy Noble and he calls it a Polargraph which is really nothing more than a pen attached to string that’s moved by two small motors. With an assist from good ‘ole gravity and some clever software the pen arcs back and forth, similar to a standard back-and-forth plotter printer, creating the beautifully textured drawings above.

Drawing machines are certainly nothing new, what with Harvey Moon’s Drawing Machine that successfully debuted on Kickstarter last year, and even Eske Rex’s enormous weight balanced spirograph drawing machine. Deadliest Art Glass in the World | Wrong Dream. Posted by admin on May 31, 2011 in Crazy Art | 2 comments The Collaborators: University of Bristol virologist Andrew Davidson, glassblowers, Kim George, Brian Jones and Norman Veitch. Took inspiration from high-resolution electron microscopic images, creating large, painstakingly accurate glass sculptures of viruses and bacteria such as HIV, E. coli, SARS, and H1N1 (Swine flu).

Took over 5 years of development and research. Jerram and his collaborators created glass genomes, carefully placing them on tiny pedestals within what would become viral envelopes. They then closed up the tops before adding final touches of spikes and glycoproteins, which were shaped and melted on while keeping the whole work at roughly the same temperature. The sculptures are designed in consultation with virologists from the University of Bristol, using a combination of different scientific photographs and models. F E R I C.

Many people think that the tradition artwork will die in the time of digital life. Actually, the digital art is just another trend of the art development through the history. Unlike the digital computer arts, the traditional pencils and colors give you a physical sense of the artwork that you can touch and walk around. The sculpture is one of the traditional arts’ examples that cannot be replaced with a digital version or digital sculpture.

The black and white artwork using the pencils and the charcoal is one of the challenging forms or art that uses only the gray colors to visualize the scene and ideas based on the light and shadows. This type of art requires amazing control of the pencil. This allows the artist to create different gray degrees as you can see in our today’s collection.
