Last week I decided to come up with a new variation of the Abduzeedo symbol, as I have been doing this every year pretty much since the beginning of the blog. So for this year my ideas was to create something more minimalistic with a sort of vintage style. I also wanted to reduce the light effects, make them very subtle.
So in this tutorial/case study I will show you how I created the Abduzeedo 2011 symbol.
The wallpaper of this week is from an artist we have already featured on Abduzeedo, Lionel Charpentier, a 24 years old french graphic artist. Lionel runs a website called Electricmanja where he showcases some beautiful images mixing photos, drawings and other elements.

The book suggestion of this week is a very inspiring one for those in love with vintage typography, it's called Scripts: Elegant Lettering from Design's Golden Age. It's definitely a book for when you need some extra motivation and inspiration.
About the book
Elegant, quirky, fluid, brutish, ostentatious— a visual resource of cursives and other typefaces that resemble handwriting.
