Fluid Movements
The work of Shinichi Maruyama has some similarity to Van Herpens' Water Dress (photo below) in the sense that he also captures falling drops of fluid to create beautiful images.

Hole
There's definitely a hole in the dyke now as this picture proves. (thnx to Carsten for the photo)
Each year CPNB (Collective Promotion Dutch Literature) organises the Dutch Book Week to promote Dutch literature. This year's theme is the (auto) biography, translated in 'Written Portraits', inspired by Nicholas Galanin, who makes these kind of portraits physically. Since it was too complicated and time consuming to make them for real, Etcetera solely used CG to create the campaigns, that show Anne Frank, Vincent van Gogh, Louis van Gaal and Kader Abdollah. Souverein made the artwork. It also reminded me of the work of Brian Dettmer (photo below).

New trend in logo design?
Retail giant JCPenney is rebranding themselves with a crowdsourced
(JCP used design schools and ad agencies to do the free concepts for this logo change) logo redesign, changing it to all lower cap letters inside a little square. Simular to what we have seen with the GAP square recently. Of course the ‘jcp’ portion of the logo is a 'ready made' avatar for social media sites like Twitter and Facebook, but the logo also reads like J.C.P. enney....

Who copied who?
Hours after unveiling the new logo for the Rio 2016 Olympics, Brazilian media were quick to claim that the design looked remarkably like the logo for The Telluride Foundation, based in Colorado. The Brazilian agency that created the logo, denied the accusations of plagiarism, telling newspaper reporters that the company did extensive research to guarantee the design was unique. The general concept of people embracing each other is not new, as we now from 'the Dance' by Matisse. Besides that, the Telluride Foundation seems to have done some copying themselves….
