The Reflex Blue Show with Nate Voss and Donovan Beery, Episode 16: Graphic Design Summer Fun

by Nate Voss on August 27, 2008 at 9:47 pm

Mountain Dew. Greenlabelart.com. Steve’s book (a little). My book (more than is healthy). Art Backwash. The Olympics. London 2012. Death Race vs. North by Northwest. This show runs the gamut on just about every possible graphic design end-of-summer topic we could possibly come up with. Steve and Donovan ambush me on my own illustrative-children’s-novella, I do my best to answer questions without coming across as a total jerk. Hopefully I cannot has FAIL on that task. The last 120 seconds are a mind-blowing ratta-tat-tat of topic transitions and teases that must be heard to be believed. Also I think we’re going to do more movie reviews, too. Thanks for listening, as always

Admittedly, I read UnBeige less and less these days, since Alissa Walker left. Real eloquent way to describe how Von describes his logo+client process, ha. In addition to his super blogging, he’s all up in the Twitter.
(Where’s the 36 Point Twitter?)

Hello
As a “London-Town resident”, I can hopefully tell you more about the (shocking) 2012 logo.
If you don’t already know, the offical logo is interchangeable. I.e. the colours can change for it’s purpose, so we will still see the magenta one, or the multicoloured one. The Union Jack one on the bus, I assume, was used because it was overseas.
As for the cursive one, the BBC got so many complaints about what “our tax money” went to, they had a competition to find an alternative and that one was considered the best.
Book looks good nate.

That photo of me across the top banner on the home page? It has come to kick ass and chew gum, and its all out of gum.
Nice, dude(s).

Thanks Jem, good to know the story and yes, I definitely think the cursive one is better. Better than “better,” actually, I think it’s a great idea cleverly executed. Wolff Ollins can bite it. It’s even worse that I have their D-level crap stinking up the back of my Wacom tablet.
