Fire Design, a french company, makes unique, artfully designed fire extinguishers. Roughly translated from their site:

“Innovative concept and unique in Europe, the Fire design is a security apparatus that enables you to combat any outbreak of fire and protect domestic and your family best.


A fire of any kind is very quickly the extent and can turn into fire,
so the Fire design must become an inescapable subject of your
decoration. Coupled with a smoke detector, you can ensure the safety of
your loved ones. Depending on your wishes, it will melt in your
decoration or captivate all eyes.

More than a fire
extinguisher, Fire design also offers a range of guarantees and new
services in the world of fire safety in particular.”

Fontfabric is an awesome independent type foundry run by Svetoslav Simov. All of the faces have great concepts and personality to them. I like the balance between experimentation with dimension and geometry and the playfulness of the faces. Each one is so unique and specific, they seem to be the perfect fit for that “one project.”

tape cassette inlays It’s fascinating seeing some of the designs again – most of them look like they’re late 70s and early 80s, but I’m sure I had a few of these in my late-80s “taping things” phase.

To honor all this work and to create an ongoing collection, this site was created. The collection includes pieces that span the entire visual identity for the games, many of which I’ve never seen before.

The National Theatre has an excellent site dedicated to the posters created for the theatre dating back to the 1960’s. You can browse via genre or decade and the posters are available at multiple sizes for purchase. I recommend checking out the 60’s and 70’s first.
