The Tweed Run
Loved this wonderfully retro poster for the Tweed Run. (Check the date by the way – this weekend if you're in the smoke)
It was created by Zoë Barker, she has a website, natch.
So what is The Tweed Run? Well it's "A metropolitan bike ride with a bi of style – a friendly 10 mile jaunt around the Capital will take in London’s famous sites –– including St Paul’s, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Savile Row –– with a stop for a spot of tea, and ending with a bit of a knees-up out Shoreditch way." As the name suggests, Harris Tweed is more "de rigeur" than lycra… deestalker hats optional. Only in London. It's the third year they've done it, and they're expecting about 400 chaps and chappesses to turn up. It's all for a good cause too… Bikes4Africa is their designated charity.
This all reminds me of a few years ago, when I was sweating and grunting up a big hill on my state-of-the-art 20 gear mountain bike, on the London to Brighton. First I was passed by a couple of blokes on big old posties bikes, having a chat. Then, to rub salt into my wounds a gent cruised past on a PENNY FARTHING. Gods honest.

You took my name…
The Dorothy Collective have taken some well known brands, and turned them into art, by A) removing the brand name, and B) putting them on canvas.
If you're working on creating a brand, this is an object lesson in recognisability… if you remove YOUR brand name from the logotype… would you're customers still recognise you?
Food for thought. More on the project on The Dorothy Collective site, here.

My scooter blog
I thought the blog was getting a bit bogged down with scooter related posts, so I started another one: Lambrettista, specifically for that kind of thing. You can find it here.
More general design related stuff will still be posted on this site, so stay tuned.
