Digging in the Dirt

It would be pretty damn difficult to capture what Dirt Quake was, but Dan and Hayley's hard work does... love it!

Logo a go go

I'm wondering if I shouldn't pretty up the Aprilia's battle-scarred trackday fairing with a few stickers. Logo pastiche is very 1st year graphic design student I know, but I just can't resist sometimes...

Liquid engineering

A gorgeous collection of oil cans on flickr here. I'm a sucker for americana, petronalia, graphic design and packaging so what can I say... this pretty much makes me very happy. A mother lode when I want to steal ideas get some inspiration for a project.

This next one is my favourite. I think I'd seen a picture of it before but just assumed that it was a contemporary design for a Pixar movie or something like that, a tongue in cheek idea but with consummately executed aesthetics... I mean it's just too perfect, oil is dinosaur juice right?

Dispatch war rocket Ajax!

Poor old Conor Cummins. Denied participation in the first Superbike race of the week due to a hand injury sustained at the North West 200 he still has to go on telly wearing the worst corporate swag I've seen in a long time.

I thought McLaren had finally laid to rest any possible competition in this field a few years in F1. At Silverstone their stalls were resplendent in Hugo Boss shirts and hats that seemed to be made of a material so plastic and scratchy that it was a challenge to the committed McLaren fan. How much do you love us eh? Will you wear this? This? How about this? You stupid idiot. You'll pay £40 for a t-shirt too won't you, you dumb shit. Never mind the ridiculously ugly pleats.

But now Conor is forced to do a bit to camera dressed like an am-dram production of Flash Gordon. D'ya wanna be in my gang?
