As you might have noticed Playmedeisgn has got a new logo and a symbol!! After having the same old logo for over two years, it was time to make a change, and I am glad to present to you this new, playful and edgy logo made by my good friend Lotte Grønneberg.

Each tea has its one colour code on the hanger, and I wonder it the tea bag will take colour after what type of tea it contains… (more…)

It seems like everything Fabien Barral touch turns into gold, he is that good! This time he has illustrated the label of Backyard vineyards in Vancouver. The design is elegant and fascinating a first glance, but the wow factor really kicks in when you take a closer look at all the details in the typography and illustration. See more pictures after the jump and be sure to check out Fabien Barrals beautiful blog: graphic-exchange.
