Quark’s New Brand 

New logo and identity for Quark. I like the logo — but they wouldn’t need to do this if they weren’t so despised by so many people in their core audience. (Via Khoi Vinh, who likes the logo, too.)

Update: Andrew Macintosh emailed to point out that the new Quark logo is remarkably similar to the Scottish Arts Council’s. And Again: Jason Santa Maria emailed to point out that it’s similar to the Sterling Brands logo as well.

Polished Metal Windows in 30 Minutes or Your Money Back 

Rogue Amoeba’s Quentin Carnicelli shares example code to mimic iTunes 5’s new window theme. He calls the as-yet-unnamed-by-Apple theme “polished metal”, but I don’t think that’s quite right; it’s dark like Brushed Metal, but I don’t think there’s anything “metallic” about it.
