97(ish) Awesome Logotypes
I recently came across a couple great blog posts with dozens of examples of great logotypes -- logos using only typography. It's amazing to see what's been done without the use of any images.
Why 97ish? Well, a few of them are used twice. Here are the links!
General Interface Helps You Build and Deploy Web Apps Faster
General Interface is the open-source, BSD-licensed version of TIBCO's General Interface. They describe it best:
...an open source Ajax toolkit and development environment that makes it faster and easier for you to build and deploy web-based applications that have the rich feel and functionality of desktop software.
General Interface's 'Builder' web app is itself built on the General Interface framework, and provides an experience very similar to designing Windows Forms applications with Microsoft Visual Studio. All in all, a very cool tool for developers who want to spend less time coding interface controls and more time on the actual functionality of their software.
Here are a few links to the project:
Enjoy!
Quote of the Day
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory or defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
26th president of the United States
Public Domain Book Illustrations on Flickr
I found this great set of scans from old books that are now in the public domain on Flickr. There are a lot of great old photos, illustrations, and patterns that could add a cool retro look to any project.
