Banana Redesign Campaign

Banana peel stickers usually go unnoticed, unless you find yourself accidentally eating it or find it stuck on your pants a few hours later... but Chiquita Bananas have rebranded their famous blue and yellow sticker to cartoon faces that give each banana a different personality. This creative campaign was designed by DJ Neff whose goal for his client was "to make bananas cool."

Inspiration for the face idea first came from seeing what people did with the chiquita stickers after they ate the banana even before we put faces on them. So, the hope was by creating the characters, now when they eat the banana, they are even more excited and inspired to put that sticker somewhere special to keep it. The designs themselves had to be fun, so I just thought about all the fun things I like, cartoons, toys, people I know, and they sort of just came out. Honestly, we did so many stickers the hardest part was picking only 25.

Maybe America will become healthier by making food fun and silly. Solving obesity one banana at a time...

Pretty Things Friday

It hasn't been such a great week for me, but thank god it's Friday...

Pretty hipster snuggie from Urban Outfitters, of course.


Looks pretty delish.


It's almost time for some pretty springtime flowers. Daffodils are my favorite.


Paris is PRETTY!


Pretty cute.


This is just plain pretty.


Pretty much me and Jesse.


Pretty realistic banana-boxes.


This pretty much looks like Oneonta, NY


One of these days I will figure out the bokeh so I can make pretty pictures like these.


Pretty paper chandelier.


Pretty flowery nails. I want these. And the sunglasses.


Skulls can be pretty too.


Finally... me being not-so-pretty at work.

Octopus... the Art Meme

For some reason octopi (octopusses...?) keep showing up in art all over the place. Must be a new art meme.
Anyway, here are a few pieces from Hello Wilson.

I love the simple colors and the elaborate design and linework. So pretty...

Logo Lundi

After a nice four day weekend due to massive amounts of snow, it's back to work and back to mah bloggg. Here are a couple of amazing logos that I've found on the webz. Hope you enjoy!

I've seen this on some Bahamas commercials... I just love the different colors and how they simplified the shape of the islands to this design.


Elephants are one of the coolest animals ever, plus the origami & folded paper design is really in style.


Another origami style logo:


I don't know what this company is, but I just like it.


I love leaves. And double letters.


This is such a delish logo...


So simple but fun.


I love the style that graphics are leaning towards. You can see it everywhere from Stop&Shop and Walmart's new logos to those cute Pillsbury commercials. I've been reading some criticism about how it's not always possible to be so clean and simple in designs... but either way, I like it and I hope it is able to stay for a while.
