US Steel — A Portfolio of Possibilities

Posted on 04/24/2009 Filed under: Featured, Inspiration

Con­cept art from US Steel. My favorite part is the genet­i­cally engi­neered pets that we will have in the future, appar­ently designed with new aes­thetic tastes. Makes me think that designer pets or pets as art could really catch on. Or maybe they’re really advanced robotic ani­mals (there will be lit­tle dif­fer­ence by then).

   I think all of these were done by Syd Mead, one of my favorite artists. Bril­liant work. These, too, make me nos­tal­gic for the future. They are retro and futur­is­tic at the same time. I love it.

   This reminded me of your com­ments here about genet­i­cally engi­neered, designer pets: http://singularityhub.com/2009/05/13/genetically-engineered-puppies-glows-in-the-dark/

   these are dope.

   btw, do you have any idea what font US Steel uses for their name and logo? kind of curious.

   I’m not sure. It looks like they’ve had a lot of dif­fer­ent logos over the years. That’s prob­a­bly some­thing you should ask on a font or logo forum.

   i have a set of seven ot these draw­ings in their orig­i­nal port­fo­lios that belonged to my hus­band. we used to live in Pitts­burgh Pa, he bought these at a swap meet years ago.They are all in excel­lent con­di­tion, and mea­sure about 11 1/2 x 24 inches, and are dated 1972. I was won­der­ing if I put them on ebay, do they have any value? I no long have any rea­son for keep­ing them. I would appre­ci­ate any help.
