The Graphics
This past Sunday was the first Grammy Award ceremony I ever watched in full.
I have always liked watching TV/movie awards shows like the Academy Awards, or the Emmys, but never have I watched a full Grammy ceremony. In the past year especially–now that I’m graduated and have more free time on the weekends–I have paid more attention to all the major award shows. I love seeing the different identities that are designed from year-to-year for each show. I find it very interesting how award shows manage to stay fresh (or at least try to) seeing as they have been around for decades.

The Evolution of Superbowl Logos
The Superbowl is the biggest event in American sports. The 4 hour long event, has been turned in to a 7+ day media frenzy with all the major companies looking to appeal to the largest market of the year. As a designer I love seeing the event’s branding evolve from year-to-year. Shown here are a handful of Superbowl identities including this year’s–Superbowl 45. If you continue to the link that is cited, it is very interesting to see the variety of typeface selections. Ranging from decorative, to slab serif, to sans serif–each year’s identity is specific to the site where the Superbowl is hosted. Some choices wise, others… Not so much. See for yourself, and feel free to comment.

Imported from Detroit
This was by far my favorite commercial of the Superbowl. Showing Detroit in the right light. It was classy, smart, and it makes me proud to be from the Detroit area. Everything that makes Detroit special was in this commercial. To name a few: The Spirit of Detroit statue, the Joe Louis bronze fist, a skyline view from the Belle Isle bridge, the FOX Theatre, and Diego Rivera’s “Detroit Industry” murals (my personal favorite.) It is a shame that so many people around the country do not understand the history of all that our city has been through, and how much beauty still lives here.
United States’ 2022 World Cup Bid
Now this is the Pentagram we love. I loved the concept and every detail that was put into the United States’ bid to host the 2022 World Cup. I am very disappointed that the World Cup is not going to be coming to America in 2022. I already had room reservations in Los Angeles and everything. I guess there is always 2026.

Pentagram’s New (but unsuccesful) Big 10 Logo
As a Big 10 fan and a graphic designer, I am to say the least, disappointed.
This is an epic fail (sorry to use one of the most used phrases of 2010.) This is right up there with the redesign of the GAP logo this past year and the Tropicana blunder of 2008. Was Pentagram too busy to take the time to research what the Big 10 stands for? Or was it a case of the client (the Big 10) having too much control of the project?

Interesting how the evolution of the logo over time gets more simple.
