LG's secret identity: #logo

In recent years we’ve got used to the fact that if a product bears CE mark, it is safe. The reason for this assumption is the goods’ compliance with EU standards.

This mark means that the product was manufactured in China, and means “China Export”. This similarity is not a chance coincidence. It expresses the aggressive approach and is used to confuse European consumers.

PyJunior is a little program that has a very focused goal: to provide a simple environment for kids to play with Python.

It was instead to allow a kid to write instructions in a program, press a button and watch it work.

Japanese town logos — official symbols designed to communicate the identity of each municipality — come in a vast array of shapes and colors.

The more complex logos encode the name of the town into a puzzle-like symbol that begs to be deciphered. Here are a few typographic town logos that make clever use of hiragana and katakana characters.
