Dallas Superbowl Promo. The best/worst video ever.
Umm….Where to begin. Apparently, someone thought this would be a good idea. Let’s get some (DFW) local celebrities, give them a Faith Hill song and have them sing while we film them. And yeah, Jerry Jones, let’s have you wear a leather jacket and wink at the camera. Nice.

Logorama. Oscar nominated short film
This is pretty awesome. It might take a couple of takes to catch everything in this short film — it’s packed with so much detail. Did you catch the OBEY posters? McDonald’s won’t be happy about this. Probably Rated R. For language and violence. Click here to watch the full version. via swissmiss twitter.

Milton Glaser receives The National Medal of Arts
Iconic graphic designer Milton Glaser was awarded the National Medal of Arts by President Obama on February 25th, 2010. Milton was the first designer to receive this honor. In addition to Milton, the recipients included Bob Dylan, Clint Eastwood, Maya Lin, Rita Moreno, Jessye Norman, Joseph P. Riley, Jr., Frank Stella, Michael Tilson Thomas, and John Williams. Pretty good company if you ask me. Click here to view the ceremony.
Some of the most famous works work done by Milton Glaser include the I *heart* NY logo, Dylan poster, Brooklyn Brewery ID package and many Philip Roth book covers. He, along with Seymour Chwast, Reynold Ruffins and Edward Sorel, were the founding members of the influential Push Pin Studios.
