This apple a day calendar truly keeps the doctor away (…and makes design nerds SQUEAL!)
From designer Soon Mo Kang. [Ed Note: These should obviously be called Tea Shirts, but then nobody asked me.]

Brand New rates the best and worst rebrandings of 2009. Can you guess the results? You may be surprised.
Artist Craig Gleason imagines what the world will use for legal tender when Lady Gaga takes over. Notice I say “when” and not “if” — it's about time we update those stodgy bills!
Eko traffic light, a concept designed by Damjan Stanković, takes the traditional stoplight mystery and gives it a clever countdown twist — hopefully causing less pollution and less stress. Perfect for spontaneous Chinese fire drills, am I right?
Multimedia performers, Sweatshoppe use a digital paint roller to project color lights and designs on city surfaces, creating a new style called video painting. All the art with none of the clean up!

This is as cool as putting away cutlery gets. A kitchen storage solution that looks like the world's most unwieldy Swiss Army knife. Design is by the Art Lebedev studio.
Erin Hanson sums up your life (whether you realize it or not) with “The Circle of No Life.” People who can create awesome things like this shouldn't be unemployed. And that is all.
Well, these are pretty. I don't know where the whole “reimagining things as Penguin classics” meme came from, but I like the hell out of it. Click through for a bunch more.
Typefaces are all the rage and so are things found on Google Maps, so why combine them? Designer Rhett Dashwood found these “letter formations” all in the vicinity of his hometown: Victoria, Australia.
I'm a sucker for venn diagrams. And this set by Frank Chimero is just awesome. The one about the internet and cats? No truer words have been spoken. Click the image for the full set.
An NYC subway map is re-imagined as something slightly more…familiar? Once you see this, you really can't unsee it — if you know what I mean.
