SCAD’s latest team-up was with heavy equipment manufacturer JCB, who collaborated with SCAD ID students on a re-design of their 3CX backhoe loader, show above. The new 3CX features aesthetic changes to its loader arms, cab roof cap and engine hood that make it look more “rugged.” “We gave it more of an Americas look,” said Chris Giorgianni, JCB’s general manager for product marketing.

Every year the world holds many contests for industrial designers. Lots of submissions, lots of time spent by jurors reviewing them, lots of pretty pictures afterwards. Fun to read, wonderful for the winners.

Designed by Here Design | Country: United Kingdom “Here Design has been working alongside independent distillers William Grant & Sons to rebrand Reyka , a small-batch Icelandic vodka.

When you think of Artek you think of design classics in natural colors, as the Finnish company leans towards the muted and understated; so it’s a bit of surprise that they’re splashing out on black, white, grey and even red for their quick-ship Carry Away collection. The line-up runs from Alvar Aalto’s classic Stool 60 from 1933 (top) up to Artek Studio’s Magazine/Firewood Rack from 2004 (bottom).

Artefacture has a pair of new design mugs with their signature slogans: “ Design Will Save the World ” and “ I Will Pay for Good Design “.

Australian outdoor manufacturer Harbour Outdoor recently opened a headquarters and distribution center in North America (Los Angeles, CA), so now we can spend all day lounging on their fantastic outdoor furniture in the US, too. While I really like all the pieces in Harbour Outdoor’s collections , I think my favorite part of each one is the sun lounger.

The applause for Old Spice’s incredible YouTube blitz this month hadn’t even died down when critics started panning the effort as ineffective.

McDonald’s recently began selling fruit smoothies, a move that’s clearly raising the hackles of folks at Jamba Juice. The chain has kicked off a satirical campaign promoting a new product line of cheeseburger smoothies in a not-so-subtle jab at “some burger chains getting into the smoothie business.” It’s pretty funny, but I doubt this will work.
