I’ve come across a recent design trend. It’s a very clean, simple, modern banner graphic. There’s a beautiful shop in Gastown using this in their logo. (Old Faithful Shop)

Have you discovered more of these banners? If so, comment below with some links! Or send us a tweet @cowieandfox

Bowling score screens, boring design right? Well someone has to do it even though it isn’t really that glamourous, it’s one hell of a challenge.

I couldn’t help but realize just how functional and practical it all is, and just how many variations are out there!

It’s always challenging designing something that is functional for the general public.

Check out this large collection of bowling score screens i’ve discovered.

Okay so we all know that moustache are super over done these days, they’re pretty much everywhere, along with beards, but I just had to share these with you since I thought these were absolutely brilliant.

On February 27th I checked out a sweet art show on Granville street. You walk in, purchase a $5 pack of mystery cards created by various artists, then you open them up and start trading with people in the gallery. It’s the most socially fun art show i’ve ever been too. I’m totally looking forward to checking out their other event Hot One Inch Action.

$15 bucks later and some awesome trading, this is what I settled with:

It was 1977 when I first saw this movie poster and even at the young age of eight I knew that it was going to be the greatest movie ever. And it was!

I lived the next several years being a full time Jedi. I was so stoked when my mom got me my blue Star Wars shirt with this same poster graphic on it. Yes, I thought that I was pretty cool on my first day of school, but new clothes for the first day of school is another story. The more Star Wars branded merchandise one had the cooler you were. Yes, I was only 8 and given the times it didn’t take much to blow our minds, but even still I think that this poster creative is just as cool today as it was 32 years ago.
