Identity crisis

Working on a new identity for my own self promotion. Its early stages yet.

Old 2 New 0

Carrying on from the blandness of modern design relating to telephones post, I fulfilled one of my childhood dreams this year by getting on board a Concorde. In my dreams I would have been flying the thing myself of course but walking through the plane at the National Museum of Flight in Scotland is the best I can get now. I still can't believe this thing was designed in the 60's. It doesn't look remotely retro, its pure Jetsons. I wonder if it will ever look dated. In comparison look at what Boeing have come up with for their new jet. Wow, that looks like every other passenger jet from the past 30 years. It does have a sweet name though....the Dreamliner.

Old vs. New

Saw this old phone in the office today. I'm a sucker for nice design...in any format, from a phone to a poster. Are we getting blander with new stuff though?? This phone is probably 15-20 years old but its simplicity is just so cool. An iPhone is slightly more portable though I will admit.
