This is just something too good to pass up on.

How Low Can You Logo, is a logo design contest to seek out simply the worst logo, to meet the utmost demanding and controversial directions of the client, the fictional Excellencico company:

"Our logo needs to be simple and yet detailed, complex yet spare. We prefer that the logo convey the forward-thinking nature of our company without looking too futuristic or flashy but we also don’t want anything too conservative or neutral. "Just right" is the vibe we are looking for. We believe that "e" best defines our unique approach and core company culture. We’re very drawn to the colors one finds in a rainbow but color wheels are a significant turn-off. I have attached a picture of our puppy. We don’t want the puppy incorporated into the logo but we do want you to capture her spirit and attitude and expect that to be conveyed through design elements."

Surely there has to be some Threadless-designer here, who can show the world, how ugly is done with style and class.

Remember, the most disliked logo wins.

STEAM OF LIFE TRAILER from OktoberFi on Vimeo.STEAM OF LIFE

Naked Finnish men sit in the sauna and speak straight from their heart. In the warmth of rusty stoves these men cleanse themselves both physically and mentally.

The film travels through Finland and the camera joins men in many different saunas to let us hear touching stories about love, death, birth and friendship. In all of its simplicity camera records the landscapes, saunas and men in almost magical pictures. The presence of the characters and the depth of the emotion reaches the limit where it is almost intolerable for the viewer to watch. This film reveals the naked souls of these men exceptionally intimately and creates a poetic portrayal of Finnish men.

Saw it yesterday! It was really really really beautiful. Real men talking and telling their life stories. It's stories about friendship and love, loss and death, really everyday, but so true and incredible. Some were hilarious and incredible, some really touching and unbelieveble.

I think even the less you know about Finland and Sauna-culture, the more you will get out of this film! If you get a chance to see it, See it!

I'm applying for schools this spring and I'm stuck with a preliminary assignment. I feel lame, 'cause the assignment description is very liberated and the medium is free. Basically:

Tell a story of 8-12 images from a persons point of view. The title is "the truth wins"



Ideas are very much wellcome!

...and this one is a real treat

Are you?

I think it was time for me to post a blog again. It's been too long, and I so hardly get stuff done. So without further due:

Third time in NYC! 07/26/09 - 08/04/09































I had the luck to almost bump (or fall) into Randy and Jen and Nicole and Hanna and Andy on my trip! It was fun to get to know you guys!

This is very much awesome, but I despise all t-shirts light blue.

:'(

nuff said!
