Everyone needs a good world cup chart. I’ve seen a lot of crap, over-designed ones knocking about but this one designed by Benjamin Prescott is spot on. Simple to follow, typographically banging and beautifully designed. Buy yours here!

Nice little idea by Bas van de Poel and Daan van Dam, a couple of advertising students based in Amsterdam. Unfortunately they only come as Dutch replica shirts so a pub full of beer-bellied Wayne Rooney’s will have to wait for now!!

Just a week to go until it all kicks off so over the next few days we thought we’d share a couple of World Cup related things we’ve stumbled across recently. First up, the actual world cup trophy is travelling in style this year in it’s own custom made Louis Vuitton carry case. A bit irrelevant and a tad unnecessary perhaps but no doubt a nice marketing ploy for The French design house.
