Fabulous Food
For this fun series of photos, London-based fashion photographer Linus Morales recreated luxury brand logos using food (and without the use of Photoshop). Featured are Chanel sausage links, Louis Vuitton toast, Fendi fish sticks, and Gucci-branded meat. Not sure if this is some sort of commentary about our relationship with food and fashion, but at…
Read MoreEvolution of the New York Knicks Logo
Good logo design is a tall order. Though the average person takes them for granted, well designed logos require lots of research, thought and planning (and time).

Potato prints are not just for school-age children anymore. UK designer Ben Brears made great use of this simple process for a festival identity, with great results.
