GRAPHIC DESIGN I was not aware that Jack in the Box was rebranding until I saw a commercial today on TV. I was rather surprised by the new look. Though the visual identity system looks very pleasing, I can’t seem to figure out why it feels a little off. Seems like there’s a disconnect between Jack the clown and Jack the new identity.

GRAPHIC DESIGN So apparently the design concept that will be chosen for the London 2012 Olympics will be selected randomly. I think it’s just an easy way out for the organizers. How can they believe that there will be good design if they don’t appreciate the hard work behind it. I guess they’re just running out of time.

GRAPHIC DESIGN I remember those awful years when my parents use to drag me to Kumon classes. To this day my arithmetic skill is still horrible. Anyways, I just wanted to comment on their new look. The somber character in their logo is exactly how I felt while answering pages and pages of math problems. Wonder why they didn’t make the little dude more cheerful.

GRAPHIC DESIGN I just went on an AIGA studio tour at Mende Design and got a chance to visit their amazing space and learn about their design process.
