More Red Power

An awesome ad by Svetlin Velinov to promote the Singaporean national football team kit by Nike. I don’t think it is part of the same campaign as the one for the Beijing 2008 Olympics. Both are amazing, but I think I like the newer one the best. Enlarge Image

Sy’s Fynest

While I’m not crazy about SyFy’s new identity (I’m sure it will grow on me, new brands usually do), I think they had a good reason to change. Regardless, I hope we can all agree that they’ve gone in the right direction with their new bumps. I’m totally in love with these things. Motion graphics at its finest!

99 Seinfeld References

Seinfeld was the ultimate show for water cooler conversations. With a countless number of inside jokes, nicknames, characters, and story lines, it didn’t take long for the show to develop it’s very own social language. Now, thanks to Kiersten Essenpreis, we have a beautiful painting depicting a massive, heaping pile of these references (99 to be exact). And she even included a reference key! An excellent tribute to one of the greatest shows of all time.
