novov - Design I like

Modernist book design from the 1970s.

Some nice looking control panels of old-school computers and facilities.

Although I don't consider them scary (foreboding maybe), I love the aesthetic of the standard road or warning sign.

Some great old packaging from British grocer Sainsbury's. Who knew tinned tomatoes could look so good?

~~Corporate propaganda~~ some posters by IBM to promote company values.

Although the whole "80s design" aesthetic is totally overblown, this is some nice stuff.

Technically, they've past forms.

Airport terminals aren't often worthy of excitement, but this one has some amazing functionalist design.

Europe has some really nice-looking metro stations. Stockholm's are some of the best.

Even if you don't enjoy the technology like I do, they still have great hardware and software design.

One of the all time modernist greats. Sadly, his website seems to omit some of his work, presumably due to copyright concerns.

A collection of spectacular logos from former Yugoslavia.

Similarily, this is a collection of Soviet iconography.

You've probably seen many of these standard safety icons somewhere, and there's a reason why. They've both elegant and effective.

A visual history of computing told through good industrial design.
