A great interface design for an iPhone app that takes a very different approach to the one taken by the majority. I like the focus on typography and texture, the custom buttons and unique styling help this app to stand out.

A portfolio site for a web designer and developer that gives a clear description of what the site is about, and the philosophy behind the service. I like the understated colours and use of little details.

A simple, but effective, interface element that just works. It could be even more effective if there was a little more texture on the control itself. I like the faded lights around the outside of the knob.

An indescribably gorgeous replication of a physical rocker switch, made by someone who clearly values diligence and attention to detail. I love the way the lighting has been created, and the use of texture to add depth to the design.

A simply designed, but effective portfolio site for a graphic designer. I particularly like the size of the thumbnails in the grid layout. It's not the most original design, but it works for this purpose.

A beautiful example of an interface element, an analog control to be precise. I particularly like the attention to detail and use of lighting ideas. There's a certain perspective that helps to add depth and presence to the design.

Switchblade is a clean theme that would work well for a variety of sites, from businesses to personal portfolios. I like the customisable options (it comes with 8 pre-defined colours) and the use of icons and typography throughout.

A gorgeous example of analog UI design. I love the blue colour used throughout and the presence that the knobs have. The use of textures help to add depth to the overall design.

A simply brilliant re-imagining of the Carolina Panthers logo. Their most recent branding update has met some hostility, and I certainly prefer this. I love the agression that's been captured, and the teeth!

A good example of a logo that takes a simple idea but adds depth using detail. The colour palette really works, as does the way the background mirrors the shape of the logo.

An immediately engaging personal portfolio for a web developer that captures your imagination. I love the comic book style and the unique illustrative feel of the whole site. It really makes an impact.

A clean and expertly designed interface element that's styled in a simple and straightforward way. I like the lack of theatricality and the efficiency of the design.

A superb logo that's immediately recognisable owing to the nature of the typography. The white works beautifully on the dark brown background, the typeface giving the logo a unique character.
