Charting the Beatles

January 21, 2010, 09:14 AM

My Beatles fanaticism has been re-ignited recently with the remastered box set. I’ve been going through the albums in the order of their release and am just floored by the clarity of the sound. It’s definitely like hearing all these songs for the first time again.

Because of the remasters, I’m sure the Beatles have enjoyed a renewed interest from audiences old and new. Which brings me to the “Hey Jude” flowchart and this infographic gem: Charting the Beatles. There are four great charts at that link. Apparently it is the start of an open collaboration project and includes a Flickr pool.

True Genius

I recently got on the True Blood bandwagon. The first thing I noticed of course was the stunning main title sequence designed by Digital Kitchen. If you haven’t seen it, watch it below (or in HD) and then see how DK made it. I will sit through the main titles every time. It’s beautiful, haunting and mesmerizing.

I have a lot of respect for great logo design. Some of the best ones are when the designer combines two pictorial representations to create something clever and memorable. Wes Wilson at Fuel Your Creativity showcases 30 of them.
