Very Short List pointed us to the blog PassiveAggressiveNotes.com, where you can enjoy "painfully polite and hilariously hostile notes from shared spaces the world over." Like this little memo, which someone left on a napkin dispense at the Jamba Juice in Elmhurst, IL.



Speaking of blogs, we're also liking OperationNice, which designer friend and HOW Forum member Melissa Morris Ivone started recently to celebrate acts of kindness and polite gestures. HOW nice!

I was surprised by how many look-alike logos Logo Design Love compiled in a recent post.

We’re all surrounded by the same influences, exposed to the same shapes, forms and patterns. With the importance of branding in the marketplace, and thousands of designers working on similar projects, it’s obvious ideas will, from time-to-time, look almost identical.

When I saw the new Got Milk? site on NotCot, I had to know who was responsible for the funky, 3D paper toy design. Turns out it's a British company called Unit9 who worked with the Milk Board's agency Goodby, Silverstein and Partners to create the site. You can totally see the aesthetic and concept of the Got Milk design in Unit9's own site.
