An interesting experiment in geometry, pattern, and texture at the least. I'm still a bit on the fence as to whether I really think it works in an online context though.

"The fish pendant, on Dick’s account, began to emit a golden ray of light, and Dick suddenly experienced what he called, with a nod to Plato, anamnesis."

"Logos is an important concept that litters the pages of “Exegesis.” It is a word with a wide variety of meaning in ancient Greek, one of which is indeed “word.” It can also mean speech, reason (in Latin, ratio) or giving an account of something. For Heraclitus, to whom Dick frequently refers, logos is the universal law that governs the cosmos of which most human beings are somnolently ignorant. Dick certainly has this latter meaning in mind, but — most important — logos refers to the opening of John’s Gospel, “In the beginning was the word” (logos), where the word becomes flesh in the person of Christ."

"We adults idealize childhood because grown-up life seems such a disaster. We forget that being a child — being that powerless — is often its very own disaster."

See images of our new identity by @projectprojects and read the thoughtful commentary at @bpandopinion

The studio’s new identity, created by New York studio Project Projects, is an interesting mix of two dimensional monogram and three dimensional axis, a smart reference to the bespoke and structural nature of the products and the combined design experience of its three founding partners.

This is a really smart visual identity that confidently resolves the fundamental and symbiotic relationship between RBW’s partners and modernistic design principles. Built around three converging strokes and a very simple geometric typographic solution the mark carefully balances a classic monogrammatic representation of personal quality and craft with a contemporary understanding of space, layout, design and construction. It also offers a smart duality in its top down plan-like visualisation of two dimensional space and an architectural, three dimensional axis representing length, width, and depth. For me this is a great distillation of a pragmatic approach.

What is it?

rel="logo" is a proposed standard for serving and maintaining up-to-date logos for use in various media. By including a line of code on your site that links to a scalable vector logo, you make it very easy for other websites, applications, readers, clients, and stations to ensure that they are using an approved logo directly from you.

rel="logo" is a link relation tag, much like commonly used icon tags favicon or apple-touch-icon.

"Also, we're getting into the territory of authenticity and identity. There are some fairly old philosophical issues about what confers identity and uniqueness, and these are the principles, quiddity and haecceity. I hadn't even heard of these issues until I started to research into it, and it turns out these obscure terms come from the philosopher Duns Scotus. Quiddity is the invisible properties, the essence shared by members of a group, so that would be the 'dogginess' of all dogs. But the haecceity is the unique property of the individual, so that would be Fido's haecceity or Fido's essence, which makes Fido distinct to another dog, for example."
