The Gamer's Alphabet: A Children's Book | The Gamer’s Alphabet is an art project undertaken by Penny Arcade forum member El Jeffe. The dedication implies he made it for some kind of young relative, who is not yet old enough to get any of these references. The cover is below, and I’ve posted each of the alphabet pages below. I have to wonder, will kids understand any classic franchises at all that don’t stick around forever like Mario Bros? I guess I’ll find out when I force my not-yet-conceived three year old to play NES in a few years.

The video above isn’t a technical marvel by any stretch of the imagination, but it is clever and fun to watch. Some great guitar doesn’t hurt at all either. What I really like about this video is its simplicity. At no time was I wondering how something was done, I was just asking myself how the maker(s) had that patience to do that. via buzzfeed Retro Designs of Timba Smith | Designerscouch #thecritiquenetwork Best Starcraft Ghost Costume Ever October 27th, 2010 by Paul Strauss Worn by a serious StarCraft Ghost fan at this year’s BlizzCon, this incredible costume would look great, even if there weren’t a smokin’ hot girl wearing it – but that certainly doesn’t hurt.

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.
