    Beautiful Branding by Sociodesign

    This is a great example of how branding is more than a logo.

     
  3. Nakedandangry.com has “products wrapped in pure pattern love”

Skinny Corp, the creators of Threadless, started this upscale community-based store. Similar to Threadless, Naked & Angry is a store where designers “submit pattern designs to be scored and manufactured into blow-your-mind products.”
They also have a nice blog that showcases cool patterns.

    Great Prius Commercial

    Saatchi replaces nature with people dressed like nature…150 grass/water people, 22 trunks, 20 stones, 30 leaves, 20 clouds, 10 suns, 8 flowers, 8 butterflies, 23 autumn leaves. I especially like the clouds.

    Watch the behind the scenes with Saatchi
