The New New Republic. 

What impression do you want readers to walk away with after seeing the new logo?

Creative Director Dirk Barnett: That we are a must-read brand. Obviously it goes beyond the logo to communicate that, but as soon as we designed our first covers with it, we knew we had something vital. And energetic! One of the underlying principles of our redesign philosophy is to bring a new level of energy to the brand.

Leaning Tower Of Ugly. Say hello to the ArcelorMittal Orbit, a 377 ft observation tower and piece of public art to serve as a permanent legacy of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. And by legacy, organizers mean a horrifically designed Erect-A-Set conceived by a 10-year-old on a sugar high with little concept for esthetics. The vanity project cost roughly $30,178,000. On the positive side, it might distract from the great dildo tower of London.
