Good morning from Dieline’s editor-in-chief, Bill McCool. Here’s your daily side serving of design news, short musings, brand stuff, and forgotten ephemera.
Auge just unveiled a redesign for the oldest Belgian chocolatier, Meurisse, and every inch of the brand has been obsessed over. Gorgeous, elegant stuff.
Don’t call it a Radioshack comeback!
Another celeb beverage bites the dust. So long, Betty Buzz, I liked your stubby bottle!
Chloe just wrapped up her MAX recap. Check it out.
Speaking of, Threads has been going off, and Adobe’s stock is down 31% for the year. Out of curiosity, did anyone have a good MAX?
“Meme magic” isn’t real.
Hell of a Willie Mays stamp from John Shea, who co-wrote Mays’ autobiography.
Tibor Kalman’s son just brought back his quirky watches.
I didn’t know that “Frutiger Aero” was a THING, nor that the Gen Z kids are obsessed with it,
The Metallica Font Generator made my name look stupid. What’s not stupid is them playing a Delaware bar back in 1989. Newark was fun once, I promise!
If your man just bought a leather jacket, run.
I am once again asking who designed Jetty, in-house or otherwise. I dislike running stories without getting agency confirmation just as much as I dislike being ghosted by PR folks. It’s nice to credit people for their hard work!
Get yourself the new album from Lankum’s Radie Peat.
When the young people dance they do not dance forever.
