Brand Keyboard via Ignasio Pilotto

So I’m gonna blame the flu and how beat up my body is recovering from it to my lack of posting. There’s something about not eating for 3 whole days that really drains your ability to want to write about design.

To make up for it, I’m posting this ingenious design for a keyboard that replaces the letters on the keys with brand logos. Click for larger.

The concept is great: logos are so recognizable in this day and age that most people could easily identify what letter goes were. Of coarse, some (Facebook and Xerox) are a lot easier than others (Adidas and Lacrosse). And someone who’s a good typer that doesn’t look at the keys would easily be able to guess anything hard.

All in all, I want this keyboard. Would be a great gift for the brand designer anywhere.
