I view myself as a badass, like if I see an Angelia Joile movie I think “we have a lot in com­mon”. Well, true or not, I def­i­nitely appre­ci­ate the work and iden­ti­ties of other badasses. Peo­ple like these peo­ple fea­tured in the mate­ri­als below. This morn­ing Refinery29 has a story and slideshow of 20 favorite busi­ness cards col­lected and/or cre­ated by Emmett Shine, the cre­ative director/founder of media co. Gin Lane. What a great com­pany name. I love gin. Pos­i­tive asso­ci­a­tion, check. Here are MY FAVORITES from Emmett’s favorites, fol­lowed by some more of the company’s work, it’s really impres­sive and inspir­ing. Their clients are big.






PS IF YOU DON’T RECOGNIZE the sub­ject line, click here to view an old post I did on one of my favorite movies, Amer­i­can Psy­cho.

And beer.WHITMAN’S is a burger joint in the East Vil­lage with an incred­i­ble hand-drawn logo and an inte­rior “inspired by clas­sic Amer­i­cana decor and cui­sine”–um, I need to go there. You do under­stand my love for Amer­i­cana, right? Are we friends?

Gin Lane cre­ated the iden­tity for “NYC’S BEST” SURFSHOP – SATURDAYS. Which wouldn’t have seemed rel­e­vant except that I just saw the SATURDAYS t-shirts offered in J.CREW’s cat­a­log yes­ter­day for an In Good Com­pany feature.
