This is a future concept car by the Audi car company. I dare you to disagree that this is the coolest car you've ever seen. It looks like the one out of the movie iRobot with Will Smith. Still, I wouldn't mind driving this thing around. The lean and highly organic design is all the more appealing, but it would seem rather out of place in today's day and age. It wouldn't match the environment and all of its various man made structures. I guess we need more Frank Gehry buildings. :)

This is an ambigram design that is one of my favorite. The designed typography reads City of Brotherly Love Philadelphia, at both 180 degree angles. To me this is a great design that's really experimental and an appealing way to communicate with typography. The symmetry and shapes that form is what makes this design really fascinating to me.
