This should be good… the folks over at Speak Up are starting a new site devoted soley to branding/corporate identity. They’re calling this little experiment Brand New.
Taken from the announcement:
With new work being created consistently and Speak Up not being able, or willing, to accomodate every single new logo that comes out, we wanted to offer a space that would showcase this work and allow the design community to stay plugged in to the ever-evolving saga of identity work.
Anyhow, go check out their critiques of old/new corporate logos.

That is absolutely fascinating. I wonder how/why the British POWs were given access to a printing press, a typeface library, etc. The ads seem to be for stores in whatever town this camp was located it. Especially curious was the ad for the cricket gear: http://brentter.com/photos/albums/userpics/10001/269877871_a749c1bd74_b.jpg
“You all know where the shop is. If you don’t, ask a policeman!”
Makes me wonder whether the mag was used as a clandestine way for POWs to communicate with the comrades or the British Army.
