Word of the Day

Inoculate (v., ih-KNOCK-you-late)

To protect against something harmful by introducing a small amount of it as a vaccine or, more generally, to safeguard against harm. We're not talking going full Face/Off here. You don't want to replace everything, just a little bit, because what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. This includes listening to the Bruce Willis album of the same name.

Ural Music Night rebranding

We have a small theme week going, but we're going to interrupt it. Ural Music Night is a music festival in Russia that just updated its branding. The old branding was solid, but the new one is fantastic, combining a torn paper aesthetic with a variety of logo styles for each type of music featured at the show. The intro video is a good overview:

There's shades of the Tribeca Film Festival here, but remixed in a way that feels appropriate to a music festival in Russia. The posters are good; the t-shirts are brilliant. Even if they're going to be unbelievably hard to make, they're fantastic.

You can see more of the design over at Brand New.
