Cityroom (The New York Times), has invited 8 designers to critique the new NYC Taxi Logo:

Perhaps not since 1970, when all medallion cabs were required by law to be painted yellow (to distinguish them from gypsy cabs), has the face of the New York City taxi changed so noticeably. City Room asked a number of designers and typographers to critique the new logo, which is being placed on medallion cabs as they go in for regular inspections. We even asked some to propose their own versions if they cared to. We will be showing their responses through the week.

Just amazing…:)
We have interviewed Si Scott on this blog approximately one year ago, and since then, he kept getting better and better.
He designed/illustrated & art directed this Resonate series, for a new monthly music collective which is going to be released every month in a poster packaging format with a different animal each time.
Look at these “just arrived” images of some of his latest work.

TIME Magazine has been redesigned by Pentagram.

As Stengel says in the editor’s letter in the new issue, “This issue of TIME marks a new beginning. The magazine has a new look and structure. Every issue of TIME tells a larger story about the world we live in, and we wanted to create a design that would best present that story.”

“The magazine has been modernized,” Hayman agrees, “but it still has the TIME ‘DNA.’ We deliberately chose fonts and design elements that echo classic TIME magazine.” During the redesign process, Hayman worked closely with TIME’s in-house team, including Stengel, Hochstein and deputy art directors Cynthia Hoffman and D.W. Pine.

Paula Scher, who collaborated with Hayman on the redesign prototype, explained part of the thought process behind the project. “We created a system that we thought would resonate with today’s readers. It’s full of quick bits and relevant info, but still retains the spirit of TIME. We used the display typeface Franklin Gothic that was part of the history of the magazine, and revisited the grid used by Walter Bernard,” the legendary editorial designer.
