ASD Labs – 212.866.4402

They are everywhere. We know them by color, font and heart. That is exactly what a logo is supposed to do – Make you remember it. It is amazing what a little symbol, colors and letters can do. If you ever wondered how logos come about, check out this cool article at neatorama.com

Oh, and did you hear… AS|D LABS is great at logo designs (shameless plus). A little FYI in case you need a new logo or want to revamp that outdated uncool one you might have now.

I couldn’t resist posting this.

Via: LA Weekly:

In the early morning hours in mid-December, an amazing masterpiece of epic pink proportions appeared above the Melrose strip. Not MOCA’s Murakami billboard itself, but rather a young curator’s fantasy art show: “Murakami/AUGOR/REVOK.” The spectacle lasted two days, and then it was gone. For most of us who missed it entirely, the billboard became art-opening gossip – already a mythic achievement – and yet another coup pulled off by a couple of L.A.’s most prolific and talented AWR/MSK writers. Luckily, REVOK carried his camera that day, and L.A. Weekly received the photo; we were wowed. So, it turns out, was Murakami, whose Kaikai Kiki studio found the evidence via the Internet and had the billboard surreptitiously removed. Murakami buffing billboards all the way from Japan? On the contrary, according to his representatives, he found it “so wonderful, he had to have it for his collection.” Our billboard is now on its way to Tokyo.

This is a YouTube video of the London based decapitator doing what he does best (cutting the heads off in advertisements)- this time David Beckham is the victim.
