The identity manuals and style guides of the late 20th century were a big influence on modern design systems. NASA’s 1976 Graphics Standards Manual is a great exmple — covering everything from letterheads to spacecraft insignia. Just for fun, we looked back to see what still holds up today…
Why the NASA Graphics Standards Manual of 1976 is still relevant today.

I went to the US and all I got was this stupid photo and some seriously weird vibes.

I spat out my cornflakes when I saw the original "braindance" diss, then again when I saw this letter. www.economist.com/letters/2025...
A letter to The Economist:

Selected ambient works

Legion of followers of braindance may have spat out their cornflakes when they saw their strange but nonetheless very real music genre declared all but non-existent in the august pages of The Economist (“(Don’t) name that tune”, January 25th). Braindance does exist, sold perhaps millions of records, and was the odd brainchild of Aphex Twin’s Rephlex label, which even some of the once hip but now slightly less fleet-of-foot CEOs and business leaders who read your newspaper will surely remember.
