Twobop Lookbook 2010 by Oliver Kruger
2Bop started in 2004 as a way to turn a passion for classic video games into a form of expression.
2Bop draws inspiration primarily from games that were popular in South Africa at corner shops and arcades in the1980’s and early 1990’s when gameplay was key and graphics if they were good were an added bonus. Disadvantaged areas during apartheid South Africa had little to offer in terms of exposure to cutting edge international design or computer technology but the bootleg arcade games that used twenty cent pieces (a 2Bop) to play at the corner shop were a window into what was happening in the outside world. These games granted access to excellent electronic entertainment and exposed the 2Bop crew to intuitive and engaging interface design, game design, graphic and sound design primarily from Japan and North America. And so began a long fascination with the medium that shows no signs of stopping.

80+ Fresh Logo designs – get Inspired!
If you are a professional logo designer, I bet you are familiar with the feeling when just after securing the order for some corporate logo design you find yourself trapped in the searches for inspiration. Of course, some ideas could be picked up from the type of the business your client runs or, maybe, the customer was professional enough to provide you with some clues or his own vision of the future logo design. This sounds good, surely, but what should you do if there is nothing, literally nothing to go by…
Well, some people say that a good source of inspiration can be found in the showcases or galleries of other people’s work. Indeed, sometimes a really good and original idea can be generated after viewing the projects already live. So, why don’t you try to fish out some creative and fresh ideas about logo design from the logos already done by other people? Have a look at the selection of logo designs below – there are many of them from genuinely simple to highly artistic ones. I am sure you will enjoy these fresh logo designs, and if some of them wake up some feelings or ideas in your soul – express them to the world, let us know what you think about these logo design samples.
