It’s good to give credit where credit is due and occasionally I come across things written on the vast wasteland that is the internet that is more interesting then the stuff I write myself. It’s rare, but it does happen. Today I want to point some of those articles out because, well, their worth it. Enjoy.
Tose: Gaming’s Dirty Little Secret - IGN
So apparently there is a game developer in Japan that has been working for over 25 years, behind the scenes, and developing and publishing games for other developers and not taking credit for it. They don’t even want to take credit for it. In fact, until recently their existence was a myth except to the CEO’s who brokered the deals. These guys were responsible for game in famous franchises including Resident Evil and Final Fantasy. This is a great article, especially if you’ve ever played a video game — or you like secrets.
The Philosophy of Logo Design - Flërnk
This blog has been sitting in my bookmarks folder for another post, A Guide to OS X Software for Switchers, and the other night I decided to check out what else this little blog has to offer. Guess what else it had, one other post — just one. The post, though, was great. An indepth look at what goes into product branding and why some of the worlds logos are so successful. Too bad this blog only has two articles because the quality it outputs is pretty amazing.

In some random factory in some random town there are a bunch of random people who evidently are bored with their jobs and enjoy taking radically insane rides on highly expensive robotic arms. You just have to see the video to understand. Luckly for you, I’ve provided it for your viewing enjoyment.
