BlogIcon II

i really like the name 'blogicon' said as one word sounds fun. like chaka khan. or similar to the image below ;) my original idea was to generate more icons of the big from all of us and then rotate them as we come up with them. so that the image is always in flux since we are always defining what the big 4401 is to us. also the image was to kickoff some much needed interaction and postings on the blog :)

blogicon

i was just checking out all your links, and saw an interesting similarity in iconography of blogs...






i know jeremy asked for inspiring new icons for the blog, but i never heard a call for votes on which we liked...

Gun Hoofs

From Vivian St. George at refinery 29
"Under normal circumstances, the words "gun," "hoof," and "shoes" would have no reason to be used in the same sentence, but artist and designer Iris Schieferstein combines all three together in her plainly named "Gun Hoofs," a follow-up from her disturbingly realistic plain-hoofed version. More art object than actual footwear, these shoes make an ironic statement about the paradox of taxidermy: That in death, the animal achieves immortality, and we're sure the gold-plated revolver doesn't hurt the late goat's street cred. A bizarre hybrid of the Margiela hoofed shoe and the Chanel gun pump, these babies are must-have pieces for any serious satyrialist. (Design Milk)."

wow! we all know people who like guns, but goats too? that's certainly taking rural design to a whole new level.
