When it comes to making a decision on purchasing something, I usually pick the item with the better packaging. I choose my football teams the same way. I love the Cincinnati Bengals uniforms.
The stripes on the helmet really set them apart from the other NFL teams, who just have their logo on either side. And I love how many alternates they are able to have.
I hate when one of my favorite artists has bad design for their albums. Or when awful bands have amazing packaging.
In this case, one of my favorite rappers, POS, has one of my favorite album packages. The sleeves slide in and out of the clear case to create hundreds of variations. Even the disk interacts with the case.
I’d love to see more of this. Perhaps with vinyl records. Or you could get limited edition sleeves at shows or for preorders. Making the combinations even greater.
I have begun working on the new label, Hydrogen Man Records. First up is a website. Simple wordpress (same theme as this site). I have started on a logo. Hopefully this will turn into some 7″ designs.
For the most part, I like the Nickelodeon rebrand. The hint of the splatter in the ‘i’ is a very nice touch. Or is it a person? Or something else? While watching Nick Jr. with my mom, sister and nephew, my mom remarked about why they used a candle for the ‘i’.
