I like this site, you can purchase a set of icons designed on the principles of Helvetica at Helveticons Alternatively you can download some nice little yellow folders and icons for your OSX desktop for free.

FLIQLO Flip Clock Screensaver

I have been getting a few emails recently about this great screensaver (as seen below on the Happy (Hey)Days post) so here it is, Its called FLIQLO and it was designed by Yuji Adachi. You can download this and some other goodies including a nice Lego style saver from 9301. It makes a nice Mac look even nicer sitting in the studio. It also works on Windows for those so inclined. Don’t say we’re not good to you!

Nike Air Max – Respect the Architect

Air-Max-Architects

Cool video explaining the design history and inspiration for the classic Nike Air Max. Interesting to hear that an actual Nike Architect created the designs for the original sneaker with the visible air cushion that became so familiar. Well worth a watch.

Nike Livestrong Chalkbot

Great video about how the Nike Livestrong Chalkbot is spraying messages from all over the world on the street for the riders of the Tour De France. Great idea and brilliant execution, also not a marketing trick missed! Check out the site here

Happy (Hey)Days

Hey-Days-Tote

Hey-Days-Tote2

I love getting mail and today I got this lovely tote bag from Oslo based HeyDays (Okay I know lots of you got it a few days ago but things take a little longer over this way). I have posted them on here a few of times before as I love there work, they we’re one of the first BKMD posts so if you haven’t already seen their work get over there and get jealous! On a side note apparently it was 5.49PM EST that I opened this! Love that screensaver.

Adidas SLVR Collection

Adidas-Slvr-Collection-mens

Adidas-Slvr-Collection-wmns

Launched early this year with a tagline boast of being ‘Simply Perfect’, this new range from Adidas is a cocky start to a whole new ballgame. Whilst SLVR appears to be a high fashion concept, adidas PR describes it as ‘affordable, attainable and ultimately wearable’ which, given prices for the footwear are all under €130, seems fair enough. Seems to be throwing out some nice stuff, liking these mens high tops (shown top) but not quite so sure on these ladies high heeled number.

Lots to be err…proud of at London based Proud including the rebrand of the Sci-Fi Channel to SyFy. We’re not big fans of the genre here but we love the dimensional type and these images especially. Shameessly plundered from Grafikcache
