Here is a list of sites we’ve come across throughout the past couple weeks that we think are worth sharing. We call it friday blinks.
Saul Bass: Logo Ass Kicker
The average lifespan of a Saul Bass logo is 34 years. That is amazing, and what all of us should strive for when we design things. Long life and little change.

Draplin shares his notebook collection
Be careful of the crack. 35,000-40,000 dpi at 100%. What a cool collection.

UX vs. UI, for cereal…
The differences between UX and UI, shown visually with cereal. Very smart/easy way to look at and understand the difference.

Adobe CS6 packaging and branding
Adobe will be releasing Creative Suite 6 this Saturday, May 7. I like Adobe’s take on “these are tools for everyone,” but it dances on that line of “everyone’s a designer just because they have the software” mentality, which I don’t necessarily agree with. A very cool way to highlight what each program/creative suite can do, without going into the technical, sometimes yawn-inducing specs. I’m not sure if CS6 will be a must-have like CS5 was touted as, but as always, I’m sure there will be some sweet additions.
