A / No. 21 / Armin / Ironic t-shirt lovers rejoice: Later this month, Microsoft will launch a new set of 1980s-looking t-shirts created by Crispin Porter + Bogusky. [Via Brandflakesforbreakfast]

A / No. 22 / Armin / For the first week of December diamond company DeBeers set up a circular mini stage with cameras in New York’s Madison Square Park where people could document a kiss or a moment Matrix style. Cheesy but cool.

C / No. 43 / PrintPlace / See 10 ultra-cool hand-picked brochure designs that get you inspired.

A / No. 29 / Armin / By punching out little circles from each letter the EcoFont uses 20% less ink when you print. Also great for posters that need a Broadway Lights feel. [Via BuzzFeed]

C / No. 29 / Sander / A compilation of famous designers quotes that inspire, join in and share your favourite designers quote.

C / No. 15 / Poppy Petunia / Banned advertisements to die for. Morbidly gross, disgusting and just plain yukky ads. Weeeeeeee!

A / No. 32 / Armin / Looks like thedieline.com has competition: Lovely Package, a new packaging blog.

A / No. 25 / Armin / After seeing these on-press images from the folks at Eye I remembered that it’s been a long time since I’ve been on press. I think that may be a good thing. I do miss its sounds.

C / No. 37 / Kosal / Finally! A website redesign that was long overdue. The New MyFonts.

C / No. 42 / Josh / Merry Ad Agency Winter Invitation Charlie Brown!

C / No. 34 / Mike Kaye / Want a challenge? Try finding a positive spin for a vehicle that embodies economic excess and environmental disdain. Four ad firms take a stab at re-branding Hummer.
