The Weekly Nugget
It’s Friday which mean’s freshly baked insights across branding, design, illustration and innovation.
1. Icelandic króna design
With a recent open call, the Icelandic Graphic Design Association and Central Bank of Iceland try to solve a taxing design challenge: inventing a country’s first monetary symbol. Will Sweden be next? Read more in ItsNiceThat.
2.Incubator of Mad Dreams
Discover the concept art of Rael Lyra. Looking at Rael’s mastery, we have the feeling you can develop a full movie script from each illustration. Never repeated, never shy. See more on DesignYouTrust.
3. CNET rebrand
Remember CNET? Where you would read about the latest flip phone or gadget in the early 2000s? Well it’s still kickin! and Collins have done the rebrand. Funny that they are also going down the 80s inspired route (similar to Paddle featured in our Nugget 2 weeks back) but perhaps their place in internet lore warrants it even more. We’re especially loving the logo animation, that they also using on their site with transparent webm-video. This time “make the logo bigger” certainly makes sense.
4. Codrops interactive inspo
Speaking of rebrands we stumble back to Codrops who’s page seems to have a new look (?), but it reminded us how many great experiments, plugins and articles related to web development and programming are available in their Playground.
5. Canairi.io
Canairi® is a fresh air monitor tracks CO2 levels to improve your indoor climate and health and they have a very cute website to match their cute product design.
Annnnnnd that’s all folks! Until next week, ciao! 👋
Psst! If you liked some of these things then perhaps you’re our new coworker? As one of Sweden’s fastest-growing and most profitable strategic branding and design companies, we’re on a hiring spree.
