We went to see the latest Design Museum exhibitions at the weekend. The first 1000sqm floor is currently home to a fantastic exhibition by Richard Rogers Architects. The space is full of wonderful architectural models from all areas of architectural consideration. Models include the Pompidou, Millennium Dome, Milan Airport and Zip-Up house to name just a few.

There’s also some great typography signs hanging from the ceiling – the exhibition is on until 25th August – then it moves to Barcelona and Madrid in 2009.

Further up the stairs on the top floor, there is also some really great product design from Industrial Facility. More pictures found here.

Would you like to team up on a project? Get in touch and we promise to bring a box of Big Hello truffles to the first meeting.

See how we made them here.

The new Ad from Logan, the folks who have been working with Apple creating all the latest (and in my opinion, greatest) vibrant iTunes/iPod adverts over the last year. The Ad also features one of my favourite bands Coldplay and a song off their new Viva la Vida album, which is out on Thursday. 

Watch the AD in HD here. I love it!

In 2005 The Royal Mint announced a competition to design six of the eight kinds of coin in circulation in Britain, the first full redesign of the coins since decimalisation in 1971. 

You can tell they were done by a graphic designer; even with the complexity of the Royal Arms, the designs are clean and sparse, with pleasing variation in placement of the inscription, and on the 20p there is a sense of refraction through the thick border of the coin. I think they’re fantastic, in fact, they’re astounding!
