Aarhus is the worlds smallest big city (a former slogan) with around 300.000 inhabitants, where more than 80.000 are students. A city with an young population so to speak. The problem, but also the good thing about Aarhus is, as I see it, the local atmosphere. (The city has everything within 15 minutes on bike - the sea, forest, downtown etc.) The localness of Aarhus is also the city's Achilles’ heel, because of this image the city faces a great future challenge: To attract an international audience, which will be crucial in order to be competitive in terms of economic, but also cultural growth in the future.
Today Denmark's second biggest city Aarhus, got a new corporate identity and brand slogan. The new identity and slogan have been on their way for the last 6 months and is made by London based consultancies Goosebumps Branding Agency and Global Cities.

Heart is the new name for the redesigned Museum of contemporary art in Herning, Denmark. The museum, which opens today, was designed by American architect Steven Holl. The name of the museum and the corporate identity is designed by the Danish branding and design consultancy firm: Kontrapunkt A/S. I think it is brilliant.
The danish newspaper Berlingske has wrote an article about the new museum today. They are very happy about the result and they request everyone to visit the museum. Check out the article written in danish here or read on for an english version (Taken from berlingske.dk and translated with Google translate). Chech out the pictures of the new museum below or visit their website here.

When it comes down to fantastic music and great graphic design and visual identity Perlon Records is a classic example of pure coolness.
Perlon is releasing vinyl and CD's (no digital releases) with stunning covers on every single release. Artists include Ricardo Villalobos, Akufen, Baby Ford, Dandy Jack, Zip, Stefan Goldmann and Melchior Productions Ltd etc.
