Just wanted to drop a quick note to tell you to check out the new Hamel site! I’ve also added the project to my portfolio.

Just stumbled across Emil Kozak’s works, and boy do I like ‘em. They have a sort of wonderful playfulness to them.

Pfizer has got the help of Siegel+Gale to provide a face lift for the company, and it works pretty well. I think this reworking fits perfectly in between a minor, “unnecessary” change and an overworked make over. It’s different, but at the same time, most people won’t notice. And that’s the beauty. It’s not something that people will have to re-familiarize themselves with. They already know what it is, but the change that Pfizer wants to show is subtly put into their conscience at the same time. Brilliant. The tilt of the oval, together with the new typography, are small changes but together they create a new, much needed depth to the company. I’d say this is a first class example of good rebranding, anno 2009.

Brand new has, as always, more on this.

A nice site with collections ranging from button styles, contact pages etc. if you need some inspiration for your web project.

Likewise, cosmonauts confined for months in outer space quickly lose interest in video programs and other diversions. They prefer to stare out the window at the untouchable Earth. More here.
