Denmark-based design agency Scandinavian DesignLab took on the task of creating a branding scheme for Copenhagen-based fashion store PARISTEXAS with a most unusual series of designs that merge bugs with musical instruments.

"The assignment involved creating an identity that breaks with the traditional thinking behind identities and by extension supports a sense of unique, international exclusivity and underground style."

These are seriously a way of creating an identity that breaks the traditional thinking.  Identity and uniqueness comes to my mind when I see the current branding and font selections.  You can read more about it on their website.

Craolo a.k.a Greg Simkins art style captured my attention this morning.  I mean the more that you look at his work the more hidden details start to show themselves.  These fantastical creatures are more than not in an awkward contortions, which gives the feel of a youthful imagination and wonder.  If you get a chance check out more of his work on his website.

The Faraday Porteur is a electric bicycle that includes a 250 watt motor, concealed batteries that provide 10 to 15 miles of pedal assist on a single charge. A single charge lasts up to 15 miles, and the bike takes 45 minutes to fully juice up. The bike's Kickstarter page describes this as an "electric tailwind," describing it as "the feeling of riding with the best tailwind you've ever had."  It's now available in Kickstarter for $3,500; they want to reach $100,000 in funding to make the first factory run.

Montreal-based photographer Benoit Paillé has been creating this fascinating series of landscapes using a different lighting method involving a suspended glowing square. The images below are not photoshopped, the 1×1 meter light is instead hung in the center of each photograph and the resulting image shows the unique form of illumination that creeps into the surrounding area. Paillé says his goal is to redefine what a landscape photograph is by questioning its reality, creating a kind of poetic moment in space and time. You can see many more of his Alternative Landscapes on Flickr.
