Earlier this month, the Sci-Fi Channels has completely changed over to their new identity.. It is now “SyFy”. Its a huge makeover for them.. I sorta like the direction that they’re pushing the brand toward.  Lets just hope that they don’t lose the fans in the process.

All of the SyFy Logo Idents concepted for them by ManVsMachine looks pretty awesome.  Also for more of  the SyFy rebrand, check out Proud Creative’s portfolio.

and I also like all of the SyFy IDs animation created by Blind.  I think it fits really well with the new logo.

I saw the bottle caps collection on flickr and though the typography and design on each cap is really cool.  These are some of the one that i like.  view the rest of the bottle caps collection on flickr.  [via fragmented photostream.]

while searching for bottle caps designs.  I also found an artist, Molly B Right, who create large scale portraits from vintage bottle caps.  What a creative way to recycle everyday material into work of art.

 He has a lot more pictures at his website.
