Coca-Cola Olympic Posters
The German arm of global ad agency McCann Erickson developed this fantastic series of Olympic posters for Coca-Cola last year. Though the London Olympics are long over, these posters could easily be relevant at any Olympic Games. We love the strong, simple integration of the Coca-Cola brand with Olympic athletes. Really well done. Via adsoftheworld.com

North Carolina-based designer/illustrator Matt Stevens has a great eye for branding. His focus and skill with brand identity programs is clear, even in this tongue-in-cheek badge set.

Read MorePrint and T-Shirt Designs by Mark Books
Designer/art director Mark Brooks, who splits his time between his native Barcelona and New York City, designed this terrific series of limited edition prints and t-shirts for Barcelona retailer SantaMonica.

Read MorePantone Calendars by Pentagram
We have a thing for calendars, and this one is particularly good. Pentagram’s Eddie Opara and Brankica Harvey designed Pantone’s 2013 Wall and Engagement calendars, utilizing the famed PMS color chips as a design device. The color chips are treated as pixels, creating digitized images for each month. Very clever and well executed. Via pentagram.com

Madrid-based design consultancy IS Creative Studio created this fantastic logo for LAD (Latin American Design). The logo is described as “that beautiful moment when on a long brainstorming the great idea hits you like a lightning.” Love the color palette and typography too. Via iscreativestudio.com
Read MoreDark Disney Posters
British designer Rowan Stocks-Moore clearly has a fondness for Disney movies, but interprets them in an unexpected way. Rather than the lighthearted and charming Disney movie poster depictions we’re used to, Stocks-Moore explores the darker side of these tales with some smart silhouettes. Prints of this growing series are available here. Via Tumblr

This is just way too good not to share. Brand design consultancy Equator Design recently brewed and packaged this limited run of pale ale as a self promo. Looks amazing. From the debossed labels to the handcrafted wood boxes, we are in awe. Via thedieline.com

In an effort to showcase potential ESPN partnerships, the Barbour team recently designed these custom labels as a gift to marketing executives. They mimic the actual packaging, but with ESPN branding. A really fun project that was well received.

Detroit-based, College for Creative Studies senior Meg Jannott began a creative journey about 8 months ago to brand the U.S. presidents. With election season coming to a close, it’s more clear than ever that modern elections are about branding… an ad blitz if you will, just like you’d see for any given product or Hollywood…
