How Famous Logos Have Changed Over Time

Apr 18, 3:00AM

All the logos you see around you? They're eventually going to change some day. It might be because they get outdated or it might be because of a new CEO's quirky taste or it might because the company has some vain hope to rebrand themselves as more modern or more friendly or more whatever it is to get you to buy more of their products. Just take a look at some logos of famous brands. Even those that still look the same have added some embossing or shading. More »
    





Watch a Pretty Actress Recreate Popular Internet Memes

Apr 18, 2:00AM

Alison Brie, the gorgeous actress that somehow juggles Community and Mad Men without creating a black hole in the Internet, is a pretty funny fellow. Oh and she's also really, really pretty. But funny! But pretty. Anyways, she was tasked at recreating the faces of popular internet memes (think grumpy cat and overly attached girlfriend) with her own facial expressions and her effort is pretty admirable. Plus, it's absolutely adorable. [HyperVocal] More »

Hollywood's streets are paved with the album inserts and broken dreams of one-hit wonders. But this ambitious music video from Macklemore and Ryan Lewis shows the Seattle-based pair has no intention of going anywhere but up.

Apr 17, 9:40PM

With populations growing and cities overcrowding, space-saving designs are amassing a huge, highly lucrative following. The only problem is that they often stay just that—designs.

Apr 17, 9:13PM

Behold what appears to be the trailer for Amazon's Zombieland pilot. We're worried that this whole Amazon making its own television idea is about to get off to a very, very rocky start. Give it a whirl, and you'll see what we mean. More »

Lovely Pastel Furniture That Looks Like Aerogel

Apr 17, 8:40PM

As Salone del Mobile wrapped up in Milan last week, plenty of attendees commented that the best stuff at the show was found on the fringes—the Salone's proverbial seedy underbelly, if you will. Here's a prime example: Haze, a series by Korean designer Wonmin Park, which was apparently on view in a basement under one exhibition space. More »

A couple of years ago TomTom partnered with Nike for what was one of the first GPS sport watches that didn't look like some monstrous fitness accessory strapped to your wrist.

Merrell Road Glove 2 Review: Further Barefoot Refinement

Apr 17, 8:05PM

Last year's Road Glove, with its spacious toe-box and foot-hugging upper, was our favorite minimal shoe for running. So, with the release of the Road Glove 2, we just had to see if the sequel was more Godfather II or Major League II. More »
    





Every Library Should Come With This Built-In Slide

Apr 17, 8:00PM

It's no secret how the recently built Panorama House, which stretches along the hilltop like a beautiful, stone accordion, got its name. But while the outside is lovely to behold, it's what's hiding within that really caught our attention: an awesome library-slide crossbreed in a stadium seating body. More »
    





Pinch To Zoom Is Literal On This Elastic Touchscreen Display

Apr 17, 7:40PM

We spend a lot of our time running our greasy little fingers over all kinds of touchscreens, but they just sit there unmoving as untouchable blocks of colors dart around beneath the surface. The Obake display isn't quite so lifeless, and it's just begging to be poked and prodded. More »

The iPad Keyboard Case You Want Is Your Deal of the Day

Apr 17, 7:00PM

The iPad is not designed to be used with a keyboard. But that hasn't stopped moms, businesspeople, and tactile enthusiasts from using one anyway. If you know someone who likes their iPad big and bulky, don't try to convince them that the touchscreen is good enough. They've already made up their mind. What you can do is point them to a better iPad keyboard case. The least crappy QWERTY iPad case is Logitech's Ultrathin Keyboard Case. More »

Toshiba KiraBook: Is an Amazing Screen Enough to Make a Computer Great?

Apr 17, 6:34PM

Toshiba is taking aim at the MacBook Air. We know this not because its new KiraBook ultraportable, with its 13-inch 2560x1440 display, resembles an MBA—it doesn't, really—but because, over and over, Toshiba referenced ways it's better than or on par with a MacBook Air, as reps explained how the company's focus with the Kira revolves around design.

Apr 17, 6:26PM

Carnival has had a pretty crappy couple of months after fires and massive systems failures in two of its ships turned things into scenes from Lord of the Flies. So the cruise company has planned a $300 million upgrade for its 24-ship fleet to make sure it's prepared for the worst. Here are the highlights. More »

Apr 17, 6:20PM

Spending $150 on an apron that's bound to get splattered with grease and covered in stains sounds a little ridiculous, doesn't it?

Even those desperate for world domination can use the occasional R&R;, and who knows, maybe grilled turtle is actually delicious? [Etsy via Uncrate] More »
    





How to Make an iOS App Icon That Works

Apr 17, 6:00PM

I've made my fair share of apps, and to me the one question that still bounces around my head is: When taking an app-first approach to designing a product, how should a designer decide on the look and feel of the icon? There are many different icon types I've considered, but I wanted to explore a few of the more pervasive methods I've come across. More »
