• On what would have been her 83rd birthday, LIFE Magazine has just released 18 never-before published photos of Marilyn Monroe. (via fashionista)

• A collection of really cool contemporary signs in San Francisco.

• On the Street and On Facebook details how the homeless are staying connected to the internet, even through stays in shelters and underneath bridges.

• The art of Penguin science fiction covers is full of clean & classic design at its best.

• Wallpaper from the 70s has the best patterns that I’ve ever seen. So many damask prints and colorful shapes make it impossible to pick a favorite!

• Warmer, Fuzzier: The Refreshed Logo details how massive corporations are softening up their logos to seem more friendly and approchable. All caps is a thing of the past! (thanks, danielle)

Those 21 blogging mistakes are a good reminder … I’m not a newbie anymore, but still suffer from some of those woes!

Wow, these sound like great sites and I’m really looking forward to checking them out. The one about the homeless and FB sounds especially interesting as I’m a volunteer at a center that takes in homeless families. Thanks for sharing these links. FYI – just created a new link of my own that you might find interesting – http://www.hopespringsinternal.com

I love when you link to logo articles and analysis. I am fascinated by brand development.

I think science fiction books are too often the victim of horrible, cheesy design, but those Penguins are nice! btw I really like your new(ish) banner for your site. It’s nice and simple but expressive :)

The problogger article was informative! I was kind of surprised to find out that I haven’t made any :D in my one year of blogging.

btw, what font do you use for the Link Love header?
