Heads up New York State drivers: The DMV is issuing new blue and gold license plates to vehicles to replace the current standard blue and white plates with the NYC skyline across the top.
The current blue and white plates were only meant to last 5 years but when they get replaced starting in 2010, some will have been on the road for up to 11 years.
I personally think the new gold Empire plates look ugly.
Thanks Jack for filling me in on this!

The ADC has a gallery on 29th Street that I pass by often. Emanating from this space is a usual crowd of highly creative people with incredible work, all worthy of some recognition and all worthy of their work being shown and presented there. What puzzles me about the new Art Directors Club logo is that this logo does not convey that same sense of creativity at all. In fact, it is probably the most boring logo redesign I’ve ever seen approved. The former ADC logo wasn’t the greatest looking I’ll admit, but it had a unique look to it that certainly made it stand out among other art galleries/clubs/organizations. The former logo had an old feel to it (despite actually being designed in 2005 by Paula Scher, according to Brand New) and that’s what I loved about it. It made me feel like I was going into a well-established organization and participating in great discussions with great artists. The new logo, composed of a tightly spaced Franklin Gothic, just cannot compete with the former logo in my opinion. It screams laziness, conformity, and a feeling of joining the David Barton Gym (as one commenter on Brand New says).
To put it simply, I think this is a huge mistake and a very unfortunate one for such a great organization. I mean, yuck, just look at that huge logo on their website.

Simon sent this over to me today and I started laughing real hard at my desk. Anti-Duckface is a blog that basically shows you why making a kissing gesture (otherwise known as a “duckface”) is almost always a bad idea. Not flattering and definitely not as sexy as you probably think.

What in the world is going on with the layout of the New York Yankees website? It looks like the biggest jumbled mess I’ve ever seen. I go here to look up some information and all I want to do when I see the page is close it. Seriously, there’s too much going on here. Somebody should get Barton Smith on this right away…

Nothing makes any sense at all in this recently released album cover image for Chris Brown’s Graffiti. I’m just sayin’…
Seriously, what the hell is that mess in the lower right hand corner?

I don’t know how anybody can find this gaming interface/theme pleasing to use. Yuck. Google made this one to please the nerds.
