Design-ed is the creative and branding practice of Ed Watt. He has a great collection of work, definitely worth checking out! He says he loves a good cup of tea so he's OK in my books.

Save Your Logo
This is such a cool idea! Save your logo are asking people to invest in the conservation of the animals represented in their logos. Lacoste are already on board!
I've been trying to think of more logos with animals in them. All these animals may not be in need of conservation, but maybe they could help out with an animal of the same species.

Irish Museum of Modern Art - Project
This was a little project I set up for myself one day when I had nothing better to do. I was browsing the IMMA website and the whole design struck me as being very un-modern. I decided then to make a new logo for the museum, and maybe try to make a quick site redesign while I was at it.
I decided to just use the letters "IMMA". For a bit more interest I added a wavy line to some of the applications. When I made the line, I got a little excited thinking about it being used in motion graphics. For me, it brought the whole thing together.
As for the colours, I went with green and pink. The green representing Irish-ness, the pink was from the websites favicon - which is a pink feather.
Eyes, fingerprints, feathers!? You see now why I felt they needed a redesign :P
For the logo I was largely inspired by the simplicity of the MoMA NY and San Fransisco. They were two logos I always liked.
I spent a lot of time designing the logo and a few applications, and a little less effort on the site. I realize the design may be a little restricting of the content but I feel the design is an improvment on the sites current layout. I just think theres too much there at the moment. Theres four different menus on the homepage, I tried to trim it down to two (the footer menu isn't in the above image).
My favourite part is the business card, I'm really happy with how it turned out. If it were printed I'd probably want some gloss details on the logo on the back of the card.
Let me know what you think!! Better or worse?

Dublin Bus Rebrand - Part 2
Some photos I took to expand on this post about the Dublin Bus rebrand. My photography skills are poor, and everything was so damn shiney! It seemed like I couldn't get any really good pictures.

Prepaid Smartcard. I really like this design. Below is the old design for the prepaid tickets.
This is the ticket you get when you pay on with change.
This is the old version of the previous ticket. The machine would just spit out a random length of ticket (the one pictured is about 7 inches long, but the next time you get the bus it could be a quater of the size). The new tickets are smaller and more consistant in size.

Nitelink timetable
Nitelink logo.
This is the old Nitelink ticket. Fug. You can see the old bus design here, but for the sake of your eyeballs I'd recommend you don't! It's just the above ticket printed huuuuge on the side of a bus.
I don't know if they've made any changes to the bus design itself. I hope they did.
I spent all weekend looking out for these adverts on the sides of the buses, and didn't see any for long enough to get a picture. The top one was taken when I was sitting on a bus outside the Blanchardstown Shopping centre, the bottom photo was taken from my boyfriends apartment window. Obscured by the tree is the logo with the new tagline "The Bus. Do you get it yet?". 
So far so good :D I'm really a big fan of this rebrand and everytime I see a new application of it I get a little bit excited. Still on the list of pictures I'd like to record for this "project":
- Old prepaid bus tickets (I must have a ton of these lying around)
- Some more adverts/posters/notices
- Timetables
- Leaflets
What does everyone think?
Studio on Fire and Bungie - Identity
Studio on Fire (letterpress pornographers) and Bungie (bringers of Halo) have worked together to make a refreshed logo and identity. It's not a huge change (the logos not amazing either) but those letterpress cards - om nom nom nom!!!
I love the repeating sword pattern on the back.

Lotto Rebrand - Graphic Design
This is kind of old, but still a good one! I love the rebrand, I have a soft spot for a brand that uses lots of different logos really well, especially when you look at the previous mess of bad logos. It even won an Award.
I pretty much like everything about the logo. The font is fun - as is the color scheme. And the little star mascot is really well executed. The only thing I'd change would be the website - they've encorporated so much colour into the new identity, yet they've used one shade of green for the whole website. I can't help but think that it would look better with just a simple background colour change.

Ahhhhhh lovely :D

Logolounge Logo design trends 2009
Logolounge have released their annual logo design trend list.
The hidden image logos are really nice. I actually saved the Gander Mountain one (red deer) a while ago, and didn't notice the duck and the fish in the antlers!
It's interesting to see that photographic logos are still appearing in the list, because it's so hard to get it right. I definitely think these ones have gotten it right!
When the trust approached us last year with their chosen, legacy name, we were a little unsure at first until we began to see that the “well” at the end of the word could be of use. Various typographic experiments followed, before the discovery that a piece of paper, crumpled at one end, could act as a suitable metaphor for someone’s life smoothing itself out.
