I like the visual ID work Block Branding did for John Cheese Digital Production. I think the delightfully analog approach for a digital production company emphasises that the best creative ideas come from places where a wide artistic background is valued. They even did a nice job of carrying it through to their YouTube channel, which is acting as a temporary home page while the main site is under construction.

BauBike by Michael Ubbesen Jakobsen
The BauBike by Michael Ubbesen Jakobsen beautifully squares up everything. The frame also leaves an open end piece above the back wheel to add accessories like an extra seat or cargo rack. It all works very nicely, especially the contrast of the raw steel frame with the classic Brooks saddle (which I'm privileged to own thanks to my good friend Kent). Now I really need the BauBike to go with it.
Thanks to Mary for the link.
Stilla numerals by François Boltana c.1973
An old favorite caught my eye today in hand-lettered form on the back wall of a old corner market. Designed in 1973 by François Boltana, Stilla has become popular again in large display type. The letters are just as nice as the numerals - especially the wild lowercase g with it's completely filled-in lower bowl and the whimsical uppercase W.
Plus, one of my favorite places in New Orleans uses it proudly.
