Being Mr. Kenny

Head on over to White Duck Screen Print’s website. Take a look around. It’s an “under construction” page but there’s a fairly prominent feature of its design. I’ll give you a clue as to what I refer: the design feature is also part of the company’s name.

Now hop along to the section of Björk’s Discography about Volumen.

Notice anything similar? Yes, that’s right! They’ve ripped off her duck logo!

This logo is a complete masterpiece of design, it’s utterly delicious in its simplicity, and generally wonderful and delightful. It was designed by M/M Paris, for use on Björk’s Volumen — the collection of all her videos — released in 1998. It’s been used on pretty much everything she’s done since then.

M/M Paris are probably my favourite designers. They inspired the little men logo, half of which you can see in the ugly little favicon in the address bar (the one drawn with a solid line is missing):

They design things which are perfectly beautiful, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out that one of them was God in disguise or something. It’s a pity that their work has been stolen in this way.
