OHHHH LORDY.
The new animated series by Brendon Small ("Home Movies" creator, duh) is out soon. It's called "Dethklok". And it's about a black metal band.
Here's the trailer on YouTube:

Genuine 'LOL' at the name of the supermarket in that trailer, Jon & Josh.
PS- My brother's gonna love this one.
PPS- "My name's Ralph, can you just play some more metal already??"
Jonbro, thanks for building all that cool stuff tonight! The shirts are exciting!
For Jon, Eli, and Josh, following our comics session earlier -- from the Wikipedia entry on Grant Morrison:
"At DisinfoCon in 1999, Morrison said that much of the content in The Invisibles was information given to him by aliens that abducted him in Katmandu, who told him to spread this information to the world via a comic book. He later clarified that the experience he labeled as the "Alien Abduction Experience in Katmandu" had nothing to do with aliens or abduction, but that there was an experience that he had in Katmandu that The Invisibles is an attempt to explain."
Also:
"In 2006, Morrison will write Batman for DC, as well as The Authority and Wildcats for DC's Wildstorm imprint."

the shirts...
this wiki is totally broken, as in you cannot edit pages. However, is working on my machine, so that gives me hope for it working on the server at some point.
However, it is late and I have a headache, so I am not going to finish getting it working tonight.

Subject: Advice, please!
So. I have to design a logotype (and generate some graphic logo ideas too) for a new start-up company. The company relates directly to the legal profession, so first I did a round-up of major law firm logotypes. After that, I've been messing around with typefaces & doing some sketching, but it has yielded limited results so far. At least, limited ones that could be described as "neato".
What's your process for tackling a logo design? From where do you derive inspiration, especially considering the parameters below?
Some parameters:
- Company relates to the legal profession, i.e. conservative in style
- "Imagine the logo in a low-resolution, black & white ad"
so an east german town is performing the john cage piece, "as slow as possible" on organ for 639 years. the same town has a 20% unemployment rate. the reasons for the performance differ from person to person. this article is pretty facinating...
cspan does have the colbert video available to stream on it's homepage (real player)
yeah... the distinction that I make between art and design is the notion of external constraints. Artists (ideally) have no external constraints--just the ones they impose on themselves. Designers, on the other hand, are working with constraints. In the case of product design, the constraints could be:
1) it's something for drinking liquids
2) it's for humans
3) it must hold at least 10 oz
4) dishwasher safe
etc...
