Could anyone have asked for more?

amazing work from pentagram
The Museum of Arts and Design (or MAD) in New York opened its doors this weekend with a lovely kick-off thanks to Pentagram. They created a lovely typeface Pentagram named MAD face (...what else?) by combining squares and circles - and as you can imagine is very fun, but hardly legible. Here are a few shots of this ingenious work of branding. Delicious.

typography
On Monday I ran across this book on Amazon aptly titled Type Addicted. In the past six to eight months, I've had a renewed vigor for type (I was hopelessly addicted after my first typography class at Kansas State University in 2003). And now, once again I can't get enough of it. My new book arrives today compliments of free 2 day shipping via my trial version of Amazon Prime.
One of the blogs I check on a daily basis has had somewhat of an ongoing discussion about newspaper design. Pentagram recently redesigned the layout for the Khaleej Times and the author commented that he doesn't get very excited about newspaper design. For the most part, I have to agree on that point. Newspapers in the United States can be especially hideous. The Virginian Pilot however, proves that sentence wrong (although I can't say the same for their website).
