The Beard Cap - get yours knitted now!

Great for farming in the snow. And keeping your (fake) moustache warm.

Jan Von Holleben

Solveig thinks his stuff was on at the V&A earlier this year too.

FE-Mittelschrift (kottke.org)

Erik Spiekermann appears again!

FE-Mittelschrift (kottke.org)

"The official typeface for our license plates is now called FE-Mittelschrift, with FE meaning it is Fälschungs-Erschwert, i.e. difficult to forge. Apparently car thieves, terrorists and notorious law-breakers had been exploiting DIN's geometric construction principle and turning E into F or 3 into 8 etc by simply using a bit of black tape or white paint."

Just one of these

Helvetica. Period.

"The 50s ad has too many exclamation points, lots of wedding-invitation-style script, and it's very cheesy.

It has a genealogy of pop music.

Tate's branding, including their 18 shade corporate colour scheme

Test the colour of your cooking

This company is about to buy Pantone apparently. They make colour guides for various food products, including the Frozen French Fry standard and the Frozen Cherry Colour standard.

I wonder what Pantone colour a semi-cooked chip is? I'm thinking 601C.

Officially the coolest thing I've seen for a while.

An SD card for you camera which not only holds 2 gigs of data but also provides you with wifi access to said data.

You can set your computer to wirelessly download the pictures whenever the camera gets into range, and you can even set it to automagically upload them to flickr when it does...

Because when you think of going to the cinema, you think of pickled onions.
