This week, we’re looking way, way back, even as far back as 2007 (wow!), the year tumblr got its start. I know, I know for many of us it is hard to imagine yesterday let alone four years ago. And who would want to? Obviously, anything old is not cool, and everything we see today is the coolest-thing-ever (even if it is something that is old but we’ve never seen it before) So, hopefully you’ve all forgotten, or have never seen any of these fantastic tumblrs!

The employees of an Internet company imagine what their lives might be like in a world without the Internet, and, now faced with unemployment, what they might do next.

Christoph Neimann Live-draws the 2011 NYC Marathon
We’re not sure at what point simply completing a 26.2 mile marathon became too easy for everyone, but it seems every year more and more people find some way of making things much more difficult on themselves by doing something ridiculous. This of course makes it a lot more fun for us the spectators, and does make it that much more impressive, or crazy. After last weekend’s New York City Marathon it seems that this year may have been the craziest in history.

Things don’t always go as planned. Sometimes during the life of a design or branding concept things gets overlooked or taken out of context, or sometimes the execution isn’t exactly flawless. It’s not until it goes to print, hits the shelf or lands in the hands of the client that it becomes painfully obvious that this is not what we meant it to be. Of course these “fails” are not a complete disaster, embarrassment, yes, but at least it can bring a laugh to many, even if it is at our expense. Here are some design fails found from the sites Fail Blog and Epic Fail.

Those logos from tv & film production companies that make us laugh.. If you’re into this sort of thing this site might be of interest: Closing Logos.
We love that this joke has taken on so many forms. Apparently, it was the winning joke at the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe. Now it’s a hilarious tshirt with an added visual joke, and there’s even a yahoo question about it.
