By now, you probably think your opinion of Goldman Sachs and its swarm of Wall Street allies has rock-bottomed at raw loathing. You’re wrong. There’s more. It turns out the most destructive of all their recent acts has barely been discussed at all. Here’s the rest.

While the web itself has been a massive success (influencing virtually every aspect of our lives) advertising on the web is mostly a bad joke. Fifteen years into its mainstream life, television had created scores of powerful...

2009 Trends article on LogoLounge.Com
VariDot Spotting a logo composed of dots has never been an issue: There is no lack of marks that contain dots in rows or grids, or that blanket an image with a Benday halftone pattern. Finding a trend here means identifying dots with unique characteristics and understanding why they are carrying on the way they are. Last year’s Colorblind trend was easy to spot, but hard to explain. It...
