Ellingson Classic Cars Redesign
May 1st, 2010For the Ellingson Classic Cars website I’m currently redesigning, I’m going for a 50’s-60’s retro feel, appealing to the Baby-Boomer customer base.
Here are a few illustrations of the website’s mascot, a typical “spokes-cartoon” that was popular in advertising at that time.
This would go at the bottom of every car listing page.
This one would go on the homepage header.
I would use this one on the 404 page.
hey, remember the 80’s sci-fi megacorporations?
April 27th, 2010Holy frak. Google can now buy electricity. It seems we’re entering the age of the megacorporation, those ubiquitous 80’s sci-fi movie tropes that seemed to be behind everything. But before we find ourselves in a world where every facet of our lives is controlled by a giant faceless corporation, lets give these old dusty superconglomerates a shot at their former glory, with a long overdue rebrand and retcon.
Where does one start? Well, why not with another present day corporatocracy such as Walmart. As pointed out by Bill Marsh in an article for the New York Times, they recently redesigned their logo and brand identity, thereby “softening the stern voice of corporate authority to something more like an informal chat.” Yikes.

Omni Consumer Products, from the Robocop franchise, started out making accessories for the iPod. The use of Myriad is a subtle way of better associating themselves to Apple, so as to trick the consumer into thinking they are buying actual Apple products. It must have worked, because in the very near future, after gambling in markets traditionally regarded as non-profit (such as hospitals, prisons, and space exploration) OCP owns half of Detroit Rock City and is hawking such products as a cyborg cop, the controversial ED-209, and the 6000 SUX. I’d buy that for a dollar!
