Checking out the TiRA website this morning to see what they’re up to, I saw they’d uploaded the completed project and it looks amazing. Great to see it all finally coming together.</p>http://charliedegrussa.tumblr.com/post/17117998377http://charliedegrussa.tumblr.com/post/17117998377Sun, 05 Feb 2012 17:26:45 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyxy82Q0FX1r1lchao1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Interbrand Sydney have just launched this new identity for New Theatre. Seeing these kind of things makes me fall in love with graphic design all over again. A simple, clever, iconic logo mark and great application of the brand. It’s beautiful to look at. I love the wine bottle, tickets, wayfinding and moving image work. It’s rare to see a brand applied this well across a range of different formats. Especially in a world where 3D ‘evolving’ logos seem to be the trend.<br/><br/>Interbrand Sydney are one of my favourite agencies at the moment. Everything they put out is just brilliant. Check out Cloak and Dagger and the Telstra re-brand too.</p>http://charliedegrussa.tumblr.com/post/17117828839http://charliedegrussa.tumblr.com/post/17117828839Sun, 05 Feb 2012 17:24:02 -0500<iframe width="400" height="299" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/GnGI76__sSA?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>A great guy talking about another great guy.</p>http://charliedegrussa.tumblr.com/post/15689438438http://charliedegrussa.tumblr.com/post/15689438438Wed, 11 Jan 2012 17:41:40 -0500<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/9084072" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>Great talk from Michael Beirut</p>http://charliedegrussa.tumblr.com/post/15387915333http://charliedegrussa.tumblr.com/post/15387915333Fri, 06 Jan 2012 01:08:29 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwyqa6eB2U1r1lchao1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>This is briliant, beautiful, legible graphic design.</p>http://charliedegrussa.tumblr.com/post/14970066880http://charliedegrussa.tumblr.com/post/14970066880Thu, 29 Dec 2011 06:22:54 -0500<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-skkLuKxysg?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Nice bit of coasteering from my friend Michael Walsh, this has to be watched in 1080p.</p>http://charliedegrussa.tumblr.com/post/14888886791http://charliedegrussa.tumblr.com/post/14888886791Tue, 27 Dec 2011 19:37:21 -0500<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tp5CCKVPNPA?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Gutted I never got to see this…</p>http://charliedegrussa.tumblr.com/post/14860081315http://charliedegrussa.tumblr.com/post/14860081315Tue, 27 Dec 2011 08:05:17 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwno0ew2Tx1r1lchao1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Closed for renvation</p>http://charliedegrussa.tumblr.com/post/14666543280http://charliedegrussa.tumblr.com/post/14666543280Fri, 23 Dec 2011 07:00:14 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwfiuk9muw1r1lchao1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Just been wondering around the Sydney Antiques Centre and saw this ad for Cadburys that was run in 1909.
