There's a lot of depth and symbolism in artist Do-Ho Suh's installations. Whether addressing the dynamic of personal space versus public space, or exploring the fine line between strength in numbers and homogeneity, Suh’s sculptures continually question the identity of the individual in today’s global society. I could spend hours trying to figure out what he is trying to say through his pieces.

Suh was born in Seoul, Korea in 1962. After earning his BFA and MFA in Oriental Painting from Seoul National University, and fulfilling his term of mandatory service in the South Korean military, he relocated to the United States to continue his studies at the Rhode Island School of Design and Yale University. Suh represented Korea at the 2001 Venice Biennale.

Logo-rific!

i love logos and marketing and cleverness as a whole.  here is more for your (my) viewing pleasure!!  i never saw half of these hidden gems!  quelle delight!!



By Chad Upton | Editor
A well designed logo is simple, easy to identify and conveys important information about the brand it represents.
Some logos do that by looking the part: cool, stylish, funky, formal, casual…etc. Logos may also represent the brand with meaningful imagery.
Although you may have seen these logos hundreds of times, you may have have missed some of the meaning.

Apple

With the cachet of this brand, it’s hard to believe it was nearly bankrupt ten years ago. Now, it’s one of the most valuable consumer electronics brands.

There are many stories floating around about how the Apple logo got its bite mark (or “byte” mark). The ad agency that created it, claims it is a biblical reference that symbolizes a bite from the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge. In the story, a serpent promises Eve that eating the fruit would make one wise.


BMW
Bayerische Motoren Werke (BMW) originally made airplane engines and there is a popular theory that the logo shape represents a spinning airplane propeller. Although that makes a lot of sense, the design is actually based on the colors of the checkered Bavarian flag, the German State where the automaker started.

Fedex

See the arrow between the “E” and the “x”?

Toblerone


Look at the white space in the mountain. It’s a bear, a symbol of the town where Toblerone started.

Tostitos

Two of the letters are sharing a Tostito and a bowl of salsa, which happens to be the dot on the “i.” That’s a legal double dip.

Baskin Robbins


They have 31 flavors and the number is right in the logo.

Milwaukee Brewers


In the old Milwaukee Brewers logo, the letters “m” and “b” form a baseball glove.

Cisco


You may not have seen cisco’s products, but chances are good that some of them are responsible for letting you view this web page  — they make telecommunications equipment. The company was named after the city of San Francisco. The waveform bars in the logo represent the Golden Gate Bridge, a well known San Francisco landmark.

Sun Microsystems

The letters “U” and “N” are arranged to create the letter “S”, spelling “sun.”

Amazon

They have everything, from A to Z.

420.

i don't usually post things with a lot of words, but i could not resist this one.  just read it.  funny as shit.

Agreed.

Gotta Keep 'Em Separated.

i have always been really into segregation of cities.  for some reason, i think that the concentration of people and how they move or don't move is so interesting.  check out these images below of diversity or lack there of within big cities of the US.  it really proves a point that one of my friends said to me in college: people don't want to intermingle.  whenever we have a choice, people always want to be with their kind.  i don't know if i SUPER agree with that, but it is an interesting take on the images below.

NOTE: Black  White  Asian  Latino


Washington, D.C., for example, has a stark east/west divide between white and black:




Detroit, meanwhile, is marked by the infamous Eight Mile beltway, which serves a precise boundary for the city's black and white populations. Integration is almost non existent:



That's not the case with New York, however: There are vast areas of extreme racial concentration. But the sheer size of those areas means that the boundary areas because intensely rich areas of cross-cultural ferment:



L.A., meanwhile, is sort of the opposite. Because no part of the city is particularly dense, you get blended neighborhoods which are at times larger than the racially homogeneous ones:
