This video made me a litle dizzy and I never saw Conan O’Brians final episode of The Tonight Show on NBC, but the typography is still very cool.

I stumbled upon this extraordinary piece of landscape while i was fiddling around with Google Earth the other day. Wikipedia states that: “Sheikh Hamad owns Futaisi Island, this has been handed down from father to son. It covers an area of 50 square kilometres …” I think it’s more than probable that this is that exact island, just outside Abu Dhabi. According to the scale on Google maps, the letters are approximately 480 meters high and the whole word is about 1,7 kilometers long! That should make the text around 1 360 500 pt.
Sheik Hamad is a cool sheik. Maybe a tad bit crazy, but still cool.
Found these refreshing books on Boooooooooom and Today and Tomorrow and Flickr. The artist is Isaac Salazar. Fan-freaking-tastic! Click the links if you like, there are more of this folded sweetness.
I was looking through my archives today and stumbled upon this typographical piece I did in 2009. And since I found it, why not share it with you guys.
Found these lovely bikes on Behance. I know it´s winter outside, and bikes perhaps is not the first thing you think about now days, but they where sweet. So I wanted to share them with you.
Sweet little motion piece from the excellent studio Buck. Love the naive retro graphics and the nicely set typography. Dumb is good!
Beatiful installation of 108 supermarket plastic bags and a fan.
While walking around in Berlin i stumbled upon this incredible wall art in the shop of Esther Perbandt (a bag designer). The street-artist-turned-straight-artist Jaybo Munk is the creator behind the display which is made all by scrap wood and measures 3m x 3m. It was made especially for the autumn/winter collection, so if you want to have a look at it you’d better hurry! And you should, because these pictures don’t do justice to the art work at all. The shop is in Mitte (Almstadtstrasße 3).
Just came across this post dedicated to HelloTypo, some banana typography. Thanks Alexander Grødtlien, we appreciate our followers!
I was not enjoying a bus ride this morning when I suddenly stumbled upon The LOГO Flickr group. A sweet group filled with type. Go check it out.
Meny, a norwegian supermarket chain, surprised me today while I read the news paper. In the news paper Meny had a standard advertisement paper (product + price). But on the front page of their paper they had some fantastic carved type. The rest of the layout wea crap, but that type was a piece of heaven. (I don´t know who did it. Do you?) Enjoy:
Stumbled upon this amazing guy, from Sweden, named Thomas Broomé. I´ve never heard of him before, but damn he produces loads of lovely things. Not only typographical stuff, but sculptures and other sweet bites. His take on typography is right up my alley. Analog shit. No computers. Bookmarked for ever!
Two (old, but) fun typographical pictures from Isabel Truniger.
See more of her projects on her site.
Stumbled upon Atelier Martino&Jaña. Not only do they have lots of sweet work going on, they also have a clever site. Check them out.

TTC (Trondheim Type Club) started out in 2008 by Aasmund Hegglid and Trond Aslak Øvrum. The idea was made in 2007 as something we missed in our town. A breeding place for type-fanatics.
We are now a group of people with relations to the design/advertising industry in Trondheim, Norway.
We all have passion and love for typography, and want to share our ideas, inspirations and knowledge with everyone. Kern or die!
