Thanks to my smart and talented friends for participating in Typographica’s “Favorite Typefaces of 2011”.

Bookmania, the ultimate digital Bookman typeface finally available.
I’ve never been a big fan of Bookman, but it’s undeniably a big fat apple slice of Americana, and it’s been picked apart and hacked to mush by amateurs and pseudo-professionals for years. If anyone was going to do a proper, complete digital version, it would be Mark Simonson. 5 weights, 35 discretionary ligatures, 680 swashes, 3,177 glyphs, all backed up by affectionate research (PDF). Like Mark says, it’s his “love letter to Bookman”.

“Architectural style drove the visual strategy so much that the typography was lifted directly from the building facade.” Legendary designer Massimo Vignelli once said in an interview with Type Radio that his dream project would be to redesign the corporate identity of The Vatican. “I would tell them to keep the symbol. That’s good, but everything else needs to go.”

The Winnipeg Jets just unveiled their new logo(s) yesterday, and the result was neither the throwback to their former glory days I was hoping for or particularly good. So, I decided I’d have a little fun and see what I could come up with.

The Redesign of the Twitter Bird - design:related
It’s a cute illustration, but I gotta say, I prefer Biz Stone’s original. Sure, the eyes are empty and a little ghostlike, but, like any good logo, more is left to the imagination. It’s a more flexible representation of the endless diversity of voices in the Twittersphere, not just the playful and cartoonish.
