Errors
Went to these guys the other week and I can't recommend them highly enough- there new stuff is gonna be the soundtrack to my Summer. Check it: here
Links: Metrolink rebrand by Hemisphere
It seems that if it ain't in London no one wants to know and this rebrand for Manchester's Metrolink by Hemisphere went completley under the radar. I spotted something new and shiny was afoot when in Manchester a few weekends ago and I just think it deserves a shout. It looks great, everything seems clear and considered and the yellow is refreshing (at least for now, we'll see how it ages.)
Links: HORT
The first of two rare pure graphics posts. HORT just updated their site with new work including this fabulous identity work for Bauhaus. Using a cunningly recut 'A' in the typeface courier alongisde some brilliant use of arial black(!?!) they created an identity which I think performs the tough job of being both true to the Bauhaus of old whilst being bang up to date. Seriously impressive work.

Links: National Maritime Museum, Flags
Found these fantastically graphic house flags over on the National Maritime Museum archive. A great resource. Link: here
Links: Abandoned Concrete
I can't figure out why I like these structures but one day I'll visit them all. The first is a series of pre-radar listening devices or acoustic mirrors in Dungeness.
Second is the sea forts at the Thames Estuary, Red Sands.
And lastly is the abandoned Bromhill Lido in Ipswich one of many which can be found on the incredibly beautiful 28 days later site- a real archive of forgotten and decrepit architectural treasures.
