Hmph! I'm Taking My Ball (Design) and Going Home!

This has been floating around a little, so we though, just in case it hadn’t come your way, we’d talk it up a bit and pass it along. It’s an interview with uber famous designer Erik Spiekermann (we can use “uber” correctly this time because he’s German — though we suppose we should also learn the German word for “famous” if you’re going to get all technical about it). In the interview, which was conducted by Deutsche Welle, he goes off on how awful the design work is for this year’s World Cup, from the logo down to Goleo, the poor failed mascot lion-thing.
