YIKES! ACTION ALERT: Check LogoGarden for identity work stolen from you
If you're having trouble viewing this email, you may see it online
ACTION ALERT: Check LogoGarden for identity work stolen from you
A
website promoting access to "do-it-yourself logos for entrepreneurs"
starting at $79 has copied logos and other images created by designers
and displayed them as LogoGarden founder John Williams's own work for
sale, without the original designers' permission.
Bill
Gardner of Gardner Design, who found more than 200 of his own designs
offered on the site, has documented Williams's outrageous and unethical
behavior on the blog Rock Paper Ink,
including examples of the slight modifications of well-known logos like
the identity for World Wildlife Fund and Time Warner Cable. |

Jonathan Hoefler, Tobias Frere-Jones and Paula Scher Appear in New PBS Web Series, Off Book - UnBeige
Jonathan Hoefler, Tobias Frere-Jones and Paula Scher Appear in New PBS Web Series, Off Book - UnBeige
Is there still any social cache in saying that you watch PBS now that there are a billion television outlets available and not just a couple of networks that you could dial in with the careful repositioning of some rabbit ears? We would assume, however slight, there surely must be (all our smart friends, for example, kept babbling to each other and everyone we met how great that new Sherlock Holmes show was). That in mind, PBS still seems to know how to get it done, even when they venture online. Such can be witnessed with the recent launch of Off Book, a 13-part, bi-weekly web series “focused on experimental and non-traditional art forms.” It launched back on July 20th, with an interesting episode on photograph that uses painted light, but they seem to have really hit their stride with this week’s release of “The World of Typography,” which features interviews with the likes of Jonathan Hoefler and Tobias Frere-Jones, Paula Scher, and Eddie Opara. It’s great and you’ll find it below.
