Coinciding with the "The Art of FLIGHT" movie premiere on September 7 2011, we launched a new online game for Red Bull:
The Art of FLIGHT game powers you to enjoy an adrenalin-fuelled ride, based on snowboarder Travis Rice’s experience of riding several of the most extreme terrains across some of the most remote places on Earth.
Featuring three un-lockable levels with breathtaking landscapes set across the USA, Alaska and Patagonia, Argentina. The Art of FLIGHT game challenges you to use your dexterity and reaction speed to test your online snowboarding skills. Navigating across tricky terrains and performing neat tricks with a delicate balance of speed and accuracy, you too can grab a piece of the movie’s action.
Right now, top scores can win one of 5 custom Lib Tech Art Of FLIGHT snowboards. More info on the competition here - and more prizes to come soon!
For newly founded start-up Career Salt, or C-Salt in short, we created a corporate identity, logo and stationary.
Inspired by their slogan - spice up your career - the logo is based on a salt shaker seen from above.
Now with added hoops! Our Red Bull Flugtag Flight Lab just got a new game mode. Steer your self-made plane through a series of hoops at increasing speeds, and see how far you can get. Classic mode is still available, if free-flight experimentation is your thing.

In January 2010, writer and director Oliver Kyr and producer Joachim Maurer arrived in Berlin with a screenplay, and a vision: shoot an entire movie in just a month, and finish editing by the end of the year.
Declined financial backing by both the funding institutions and the broadcasters, they did what everyone in their situation would do: shoot the movie anyway.
The result is "The Big Black", a dark love story - in many respects. A journey through doubt and failure, for both the fictional characters as well as the production team, and a truly independent production.
"The Big Black" will be released in cinemas and on DVD in 2011. An exclusive preview of the film's first five minutes is promised for the talk.
Michelle Thome and Henrik Molte will present the Awesome Foundation for the Arts and Sciences, an ever-growing, worldwide network of people devoted to forwarding the interest of awesomeness in the universe.
Every month, the foundation awards $1,000,- grants to projects and their creators - cash, upfront, with no strings attached, and no claims of ownership over the projects it supports. It is, in the words of one of the trustees, "a micro-genius grant for flashes of micro-brilliance".
Michelle Thorne works for Creative Commons as International Project Manager. She organized the Free Culture Research Conference, and helped “chaordinate” the DMY Maker Lab and other DIY projects in Berlin and around the world.
Henrik Moltke is a digital activist, media professional and advisor. He has been working on various access to knowledge and copyright-reform project, such as FREE BEER, Good Copy Bad Copy and Creative Commons. He works for Mozilla as the European Drumbeat project producer.
Also awesome: Tomoko will be serving tasty Japanese food, so please skip dinner and come hungry! New: you can now follow Tomoko on Facebook, here.

The 3000 pages epitome is available at FontShop. And Jürgen Siebert has a nice (German) article on Fontblog.
Juli will present the Lesikon at the next Talk about the Weather, on Tuesday 2nd November.
Jarek Sierpinski and Julia and Roman Bittner are the designers and illustrators of Berlin based design studio Apfel Zet. Working mainly for cultural institutions they create posters, packaging, icons, logos, flyer and websites - mostly with an illustration as a centre point.
Following the postmodernist tradition of the 80's, Apfel Zet draws inspiration from a wide and contrasting variety of sources, ranging from Russian constructivism, Art Nouveau and Swiss typography to the works of comic artists Winsor McCay, Chris Ware and Hergé.

How do some of the world's leading agencies present themselves on mobile devices? With a blue Lego block. Nick Jones compiled a comprehensive list of screenshots. An astonishing 90% of sites have no mobile- or tablet-optimised alternative.
This is one "Top 100"-List where we're glad we're not in. Less Rain has a bespoke mobile site, and the Meyer, Miller, Smith site has been developed from the start as cross platform and cross devices compatible.
Following the success of last year's Falling Walls conference, it is now planned to hold the event annually, the next one taking place on 7th and 8th of November, at Berlin Radialsystem arts centre.
Supported by many research institutions such as the Fraunhofer Institute, the Charité, or the Berlin Universities, Falling Walls is set to become a premier showcase for forward thinking research and ideas.
Last year's speeches have been made available online here, and for this year's event you can register for tickets here to receive an early bird discount.
We are proud to support the event, with a site built using our proprietary Figaro website kit, as well as the design of the CI and the production of all communication materials.
Soapbox Racer is the Checkers of 2010, in this HTML5 vs Flash Showcase.
The hugely popular Tokyo Metro manner posters by illustrator Bunpei Yorifuji got a make-over. Unforunately the sometimes unintentionally funny slogan "Please do it at home" has been replaced. Like:
Carsten Schneider studied Communication Design at Merz Academy in Germany, and holds an MA in Interactive Media Design from the London College of Printing.
The last 12 years he spent in London and Tokyo, moving through the ranks of interactive design agency Less Rain to become one of their creative directors. He has been working on projects for the BBC, the Barbican, Haunch of Venison, Red Bull, NEC, Honda and Volkswagen.
Together with his Japanese family he is now re-discovering Berlin, hunting down rare specialities such as natto, raw jelly fish or chicken knuckles. Although highly unlikely he is still hoping his family will succumb eventually to the temptations of Döner and Curry-Wurst instead.
