The page turn in the ‘D’ is really clever and begs to be animated. It’s also kind of like a peeled sticker, which is something you usually see on the plastic wrap of a comic book. My one nit-picky gripe would be how the two ends of the ‘C’ are paralleled — makes the font look like Avant Garde. Kind of wish they were both angled towards the center of the ‘C’ circle like how the ‘C’ in the logotype is designed. Oh, and using a font with the same name as Batman’s city could very easily come across as corny. Luckily Gotham is a really nice font. Anyways, I’m sure this logo is already receiving tons of hate as most new logos do. I wonder who designed it…?

I’ve always loved something about ATL, although I don’t know exactly what that something is. A few years back I was seriously considering moving down there for a change in scenery — NY can get the best of you sometimes. Anyways, this book entitled Atlanta by Michael Schmelling, looks to be really promising. The photography is amazing and looks like it captures a part of Atlanta that I’ll probably never get to see in person — at least not anytime soon. I just might have to buy my own stocking stuffer this year. More info here.

So me and @calinative we’re sitting in a meeting yesterday when all of a sudden the sky went pitch black and the light rain that was coming down turned into heavy rain going up, down, left and right. Neither of us had any idea of a pending storm, but after checking Twitter we realized we were witnessing a Tornado. Anyways, on my bike ride back home from the meeting, I snapped a few pics of the damage.


…and this is just funny:

Sidenote: I hate how this .gif sucked all of the color out of the original image. :-/
