Here’s a really cool logo of one of my friends events companies. The logo type was fully hand rendered, and given a cool web 2.0 effect in Adobe Illstrator. It goes to show that good ideas can still start on paper, and evolve into something like this. The contact details are in Americana Dreams, a pretty cool font although the numbers can get confusing with the underline.

These guys offer Dj and events planning for all occasions (South Africa only), and is definitely worth a call. Have a birthday coming up? Whip out your phone and save the number, you never know when it might come in handy. You can also join their Facebook Group to find out more.

Conrad Ostwald’s Motion Graphics Showreel is currently my favourite Showreel of all time. It isn’t just the animation and design that makes this so awesome, because the showreel itself is a beatiful piece of motion design, the transistions are absolutely wicked. Did I mention that the audio track is cool too? Click the image to have a look. Do you have a showreel that you want posted here? Contact me.

Now this is a really cool and rare art category! Typographic Portaits, its basically about transforming an existing portrait into Typography. Some of the art was created using Adobe Illustrator’s built in Mesh Tool, overlayed with type, and then just fine tuned from there. There are some complex versions while others are absolutely minimalist. The reason I chose this one was because after you hit the jump, you’ll see its a bit of both. And I’m also hoping Steve Jobs will see this and maybe give me a new iPod. Hey you never know. Check it out
