You can’t buy this kind of SEO

We were searching an identity project at the office last week and wanted to reference the logo design originally done for the Vancouver Olympic Bid (not the games themselves). So like all good deciples of Google, we turned to Google Images [...]

The browse started at Design*Sponge, as it usually does. Visually I was taken in by the post on Mucca Design's re-branding of Butterfield Market (btw mucca design was recently profiled in HOW magazine). I was totally enamored by the elegance and sense of history that has been expressed via type, pattern, layout & colours in this re-brand. So off a browsing I went. Enticed by the tastes of Mucca Design I moved on over to their website. Drool. Their ability to meld vintage, hand made, and modern is well nothing other than brilliant. And guess what...this studio has it's own type department! Recently a few of Mucca Design identities have been showcased in Steven Heller & Gail Anderson's book New Vintage Type. So of course I had to go check out the book and I'd be stupid not to seeing as Steven Heller's invloved in it! If you want to know more about New Vintage Type head on over to DT&G typography to read the review. Or if you're more impulsive why not buy it right away.

from here to there

With some time to spare and a little bit of curiosity I found “New Vintage Type” a book that I am now in need of getting my paws on. So how did I find this gem of a book?
