3D printed medieval armor for Barbie dolls

If you find Barbie to be transmitting the worst kind of stereotypes about women, you may enjoy this project. Lao Zheng has been creating detailed 3D printed medieval armors for Barbie dolls.

The Kickstarter project, named Faire Play, was funded a while ago, so the backers will be getting brand new armors for their Barbie dolls. However, the real goal of the project was not to run a 3D printing factory and sell armors, but to distribute digital files that 3D printing afficionados will be able to print themselves.

The files will be distributed under a CreativeCommons license, so people will be able to share it, print it and modify it any way they want. For others who don’t own a 3D printer, they can already buy the Faire Play bow and quiver from Shapeways, with other items that may follow (or not).

The Inter Milan’s logo redesign came with an over-the-top press release

Posted: 15 Jul 2014 07:03 PM PDT

inter-milan-logo

The popular Italian soccer team, the Inter Milan, recently unveiled a redesign of its logo. To be honest, it would be better to talk about a realign of the logo, with a simplification of shapes and a more modern look-and-feel.

However, it is not how the Inter Milan sees its new logo. In a comical press release, they seem to think that their new logo is the best thing that happened to the worlds of soccer and graphic design in the past ten centuries. Judge for yourself:

MILAN – Try and picture the scene. Your wife smiling at you, or your husband hugging you. A friend you can count on, a dinner in a special place. Imagine music, art. Imagine the best goal Inter have ever scored, the game that gave you the biggest thrill. Imagine it. The best ever. Now that those sounds, tastes and colours are dancing in your head, now that you’re thinking about the best thing ever, think of it in terms of the Nerazzurri. In terms of Inter. The team that makes your heart beat faster.

A picture is gradually filling your mind, right? First a few simple lines, then circles come together and finally a star. It is starting to take shape. “It” is our new logo, now part of our team. Our “corporate identity” to use the appropriate jargon. An image which will be used everywhere: in our communications, on the team bus, at the academy. One voice for a special team. A team that will be Milanese and international. Fair and surprising. It will be legendary just as it always has been. Imagine it. Then look at the new logo. You’ll notice they’re much the same.

No, this is not a fake, it’s the Inter Milan’s presse release about the logo. Image via BrandNew.

Illustrated stamps about environmental issues

Maxime Francout is a French graphic designer with a real talent for illustration. He proved it again with his series of stamps that illustrate some environmental issues.

Several of the stamps illustrations use some analogies with the human body to get the message accross, and it’s quite efficient. A simple color scheme and minimalist drawings make the message simple and easy to understand.

I don’t know if these stamps have been printed for use by Canada post, but I really hope they did.
