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!
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.
Our favorite tumblr this week : Old Timey Cats

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.

Mustache Pacifier by babestograndmas on Etsy
We ~mustache you~ this question: Has this mustache phenomenon gone too far? We all loved all the mustache jewelry, mugs, blogs, patterns, illustrations of mustachioed men and all the seemingly endless varieties of mustache styles, etc., but now the mania has spread to bananas, ballerinas, babies and even punning!
