This is the craziest thing I’ve seen all day. On Thursday morning in Melbourne, Australia, a woman’s stroller carrying her 6-month-old baby slipped directly into the path of an oncoming train. The stroller and the baby were both pushed about 40 meters down the track and miraculously the baby only suffered a small bump to the head. Watch the surveillance footage from the train stop above.

I’ve been browsing the portfolio of Melbourne-based design studio, Studio Round and I am very impressed. They certainly help to make Melbourne a more beautiful and eye-pleasing place to be. Check out their website to see their extensive work and client list.
Melbourne gets a new identity
July 22, 2009 @ 11:34 am

The City of Melbourne announced a brand-new city-wide identity today that is helping to position the city as one of the world’s most visually stimulating and modern places to live. The new logo does away with the previous logo that was designed in the 90’s and updates it with a multi-faceted large M. The new logo certainly makes me think of places like Federation Square.
Brand New has some images of the new logo in use which you should definitely check out. Thanks Denis!

TAC: Pictures of You

The Transport Accident Commission of Victoria premiered this 3-minute PSA across all three major network channels in Australia (Channel 7, 9, and 10) on Wednesday, February 20, 2008. The PSA was a chilling reminder to all drivers that speeding is the number 1 cause of vehicle-related accidents in Victoria. The video uses a cover of “Pictures of You” (originally by The Cure) sung by Angie Hart, and according to Melbourne Metblogs, she cried when she saw the ad for the first time.
