… well a bit odd and vulgar really: flyvertising

the making of tim burton’s logo animation for his own retrospective at the MOMA recently

utrecht based graphic designers kummer & herrman have updated their website, a big improvement if you aks me, which they didn’t… these fellas are also responsible for all design work on the ‘sochi project (see earlier post)
