Anyone out there remember “hanging chads”? It is very interesting to observe that this spectacularly ill-designed ballot paper is causing serious headaches in deciphering the electorate’s intentions. I have always thought that the standard ballot paper could benefit from the application of some good old Information Design thinking. Whomever is responsible for this two-column version is falling well short of the mark (and never studied the literature on Bush/Gore).

The most important thing to remember is that this is not a brand identity but a corporate identity. Meaning that it doesn’t need to have that sex appeal that attracts millions of viewers each night but one that looks like it will take no shit when printed on a business card and handed out by people with power suits more expensive than the computer you are reading this on.
If you were ever unclear as to the difference between a brand identity and a corporate identity, I think that underconsideration.com have fairly nailed it in today’s post about the new NBCUniversal identity system. (Shame about the Copperface though.)

[Photo by Martin Crotty] Martin snapped this in Cashel at the weekend. Great attention to detail on the typography here. Super extra bonus points for anyone who can read ‘Unisex Hair Salon’ first time around.
