Neat-wow images: Claire's Wedding Invitation (plus: Recycling in Taiwan)

This is the front of Claire and Dave’s wedding invitation.

Now check out the second page of the invitation…

The award-winning invitation was designed by Chris MaClean. Damn, that’s good.

Along vaguely similar lines, I really like Taiwan’s recycle symbol better than ours1 :

Taiwan’s Recycle Logo - The negative space from the four inward black arrows creates four outward white arrows.

(I like stuff like this. I’m still impressed by the arrow hidden in the FedEx logo lettering, which took me years to notice.)

  1. Even though I suspect it wouldn’t work in the US, because it’s too easy to see a swastika in the design. []

    Neat, both. I like the recycle symbol too, and had the same concern for its reception here. Although not much on swastikas to begin with, I hate to see good symbols tarnished. I am into runes, and some of those have been misused too.
    The frog picture made me sure glad I’m not a fly.

    If you haven’t heard of Scott Kim, check him out.

    I’m very fond of the Saturn logo.

    I like stuff like that too! That wedding invitation is very awesome.

    Regarding logos, I’ve always really admired the Sun logo. I just love how the “S” is the same as the “UN”, just tilted 90 degrees.

    I wish I was clever enough to think of cool logos like this, or that awesome Chinese Horse one you posted the link to.

    Too cool. The FedEx arrow is one of my favorite quick ways to feel better about life. It comforts me.

    I really like the idea! those names are really lucky, to think that their name would merge into one :) that is really cool. Although I cannot incorporate this kind of design to my design, I have actually found a cool alternative, and that is
    Silver Screen Invites, they make DVD invitation letters. Those invitation letters have quite a lot of possible designs. and the cool thing is that the DVD can be kept by the people whom it is sent to.

    The recycling symbol just looks like a swastika. I’m surprised no one else has noticed this.
