Just when you thought you couldn't see properly… I love informercials they're so cheesy - it's like you've seen the best - now check this!!

Any type heads should head over to Fontshop and investigate their new online font creation software — Fontstruct. The application enables you to create fonts entirely online in a simple yet flexible environment. It gets better though — the range of elements to help you create the fonts is massive allowing for a huge degree of flexibility and scope to create truly unique typefaces. Read on to see some samples demonstrating what can be acheived. All the fonts created by users are free to download which is the icing on the cake. Link of the year for me so far.
I'm going to set our design team a challenge to create a font with this application and will post on Flim Flam very soon.

Scroll down the article to see the “Don’t eat these! They are poisonous mushrooms!” range of toys.

Head over to this Flickr set to see some truly great and inspiring logo work. This book reminds me very much of the books by Yasaburo Kuwayama. It's funny to see so many logos in this collection which remind the mind of logos created fairly recently.

PingMag once again come up with the goods — this time with a feature on New Graphic Design in China. Some utterly fantastic work, highly recommended. I’ve picked my faves below.
Pingmag have a nice collection of pretty fish bait. Ohhh the colours — I like to take reference from colour schemes from abstract sources like this.

Have a great weekend! :)
