Adobe Icons From an Alternate Universe
Beautifully designed alternatives to Adobe’s rather bland creative suite icons.
Adobe Creative Cloud to be priced at $49.99 monthly, includes Creative Suite 6 and Lightroom 4

Starbucks Drive Through Built From Shipping Containers
Starbucks builds a beautiful Drive Through Store by re-cycling old shipping containers. From Protein:
The store was designed by in-house architects and at 448 square feet is similar in size to standard stores with room for three baristas to work. The new store is part of a company initiative to increase sustainability in retail design and reduce energy use and operational costs.

Belkin’s New Logo: Mr. Pip
Brand New has a good article looking into the re-design and re-branding of the consumer electronics giant Belkin. I have to say, I really like the new logo. It’s fresh, youthful and energetic and gives the company’s products a new sense of class.
The article has some interesting insight into what went into the decision processes when designing the new brand. It’s well worth a read.
