Olympic Pictograms Through the Ages

I came across this short video on the New York Times website, which is very educational and interesting. The video is by Steven Heller, author and co-author of many works on the history of illustration, typography, and many subjects related to graphic design.
Take a look, you'll enjoy it!
Just show me what you have...

I just got the question the other day, if I would mind working with an already existing logo design. My answer is "of course, no problem."
Redesigning existing material—whether it is a logo or any other design—can be a challenge at times, especially if there is already some attachment to that design. You then get the well-known "we love improvements but hate changes." However, working with existing material and develop new ideas and make improvements is fun!
So I say "Just show me what you have..."!
Tintin and "Lorem ipsum"
Read Entry...
Who would have thought that there would be a connection between the commonly used placeholder text "Lorem ipsum" and the young comic strip reporter Tintin?
The Belgian writer and creator of Tintin, Georges Rémi—better known as Hergé—has used "Lorem ipsum" a couple of times when displaying various printed text, such as in newsprint.
Below two examples: top left from "L'Ile Noire/The Black Island" and top right from "L'Oreille Cassée/The Broken Ear."
Hergé has used other ways of displaying printed text, primarily using French or French-like text. Bottom left is from "Le Crabe aux Pinces D'Or/The Crab with the Golden Claws", where the text is a mixture of reel text and reversed text. The bottom right image is reversed and various words appear such as the word "Spielberg."
