This weekend I had a bit of free time, so in between trying to promote West Ham to the top flight of Master League in my Pro Evolution 2010 game – I put together this simple typographic wallpaper. If you dig it let me know.

A poor leftover typographic wallpaper.

I’ve just created a few desktop wallpapers for our company’s website. You can check them out here.

Anyway, this one didn’t crack the nod. I suppose it is quite busy with all the type happening, but if you don’t have a lot of icons, and arrange them neatly – it could work.

So in a truly Mulletized vibe – lets embrace the reject shall we?

Create a simple typographic word cloud.

Here’s a cool quick way to generate a typographic word cloud. I think it’s pretty awesome.

Go to Wordle.net, paste in some text or give it a URL to grab content from, and presto – it creates a word cloud using a java applet that you can customize in lots of ways, or just carry on hitting random, like I did for this Alice in Wonderland one.

It’s free to use, fun if you dig type, and very useful. Cool huh?

8 Free typography social icons – made with the type tool and Helvetica.

This is something of an experiment: Helvetica social Icons that are 99% made with the type tool in Photoshop.

The idea came about when I flirted with using icons on this blog, and didn’t really care for all the cartoony, glossy, and web 2.0 type ones available. Although so many are really beautifully made, they just aren’t really my style. So, I created these. Something a little different =)

Apart from the coloured backgrounds in some, everything is made with the type tool in Photoshop and variations of the Helvetica font. I would have dug to have done vectors for these, but at the moment I don’t have a good vector app like Adobe Illustrator in my pocket.

I’ve included all the Photoshop files, so that you can see how they were constructed. They are free to download and use.

As far as I know, there aren’t really any typographical icons around the web, so If anyone expands on this idea, please let me know – I’d love to see what you’ve done! Credit would be awesome if you use them, but I would just like to see more people creating these kind of icons, and maybe taking the idea to a new level.

Here they are: typo-icons.zip

Here’s a brief rundown of the 8 icons:

Digg Icon

Delicious icon

Flickr icon

Twitter icon

RSS icon

Design Float icon

As you can see, I’ve used them in the re-design of this blog. If you dig them let me know.
