Posted: July 14th, 2010 | Author: Tara | Filed under: conference, design | Tags: , , | View Comments

There’s a new conference in town!  Organized by Bryony and Armin, the wonders behind one of my favorite sites, UnderConsideration, the Brand New Conference will be a one-day affair that will focus on the practice of corporate and brand identity.  Serving as a direct extension of their blog, Brand New, the day will consists of eight sessions by some of today’s most active and influential practitioners from around the world.

Speakers include:

Michael Bierut
Partner
Pentagram

Erik Spiekermann
CEO
Edenspiekermann AG

Jordan Crane
Creative Director
Wolff Olins

Tom Dorresteijn
Strategy Director
Studio Dumbar

I like the fact that the list of speakers include both the creative and strategy side.  I think that makes for a better balance and a more interesting point of view.

Pentagram created this beautiful, interactive piece that asks four simple questions about your personality. Your answers determine what font or type face represents you.  I’m Architype Van Doesburg.  What are you?  Use “character” as the password.
