Giving a new twist on the old stock resource site, newcomer Graphic Leftovers presents itself as “a haven where professional designers and illustrators sell or donate their unused, unsold or unfairly rejected pieces of art online.”

I think the idea has merit because most designers have elements or comps they’ve created that will otherwise go to waste. This gives them a way to re-purpose some of those “lost” elements and ideas and perhaps make enough cabbage to go buy a low fat, extra whip, no foam, extra hot double carmel Macchiato. A good idea whose time is past due, I hope G.L. is around to stay.

If you’ve ever been curious about the origins of a particular car logo, or many, this post from Neatorama should sum it up squarely for you.

Taking us on a historical fact mission of visual evolution from Alfa Romeo to Volkswagen, it showcases clandestine facts and revelations, like that the original Volkswagen symbol echoed the Swastika. Sure, everyone knows it was born of out the Nazi machine (a reason to this day many people of Jewish heritage won’t drive them), but to see that original logo makes it unmistakable.

Also interesting, according to the post, is a point that the Audi rings emerged Phoenix-like from the ashes of four auto makers. Head on over if this piques your curiosity.
