Pentragram recently completed the identity for a new high-end burger chain called Bobby’s Burger Palace. The store is opening on Long Island in the Smith Haven Mall, lead by celebrity chef Bobby Flay. As usual they don’t fail to disappoint with their clean, typography and cleaver use of color. The chain is opening sometime this summer.

Ok so I know it is kind of old news at this point, but in the wake of one of the best movies I have ever seen I thought I would talk a little bit about some of the aspects that made this movie so mesmerizing.

Have you ever seen Wild Wild West? Ever horribly disappointed by it’s lack of a cohesive plot and painfully dated soundtrack? I know I was.

Alright everyone, so it’s been a ridiculously long time since we last posted. There are a few reasons for that, involving California, but none of which are that interesting so we are going to skip over the details. Anyway, I just found out about this great new exhibit at the ICA in Boston featuring various […]

An interesting data visualization by Canadian design student, Alan Woo. Using Processing, Woo has taken visualized “an incredibly simple and concise baseline comparison of films through one particular trait: color.” The posters are quite stunning and its really interesting to see how series that maintain the same director and cinematographer (like the Godfather series) have […]
