From grain edit, I bring you adorable icons made by Dutch designer Tim Boelaars. These are clean and bold and actually kind of funny. They're just so happy looking. I love the quirkiness of it. This is a perfect example of when flat design works; there's no texture or effects but it's still presenting a message/tone that works. Who knew guns could be so cute?
And now, from College Humor surprisingly, I bring you a wonderful little series: If Superheroes were Hipsters. There are a bunch of these series out there, but I found College Humor's to be particularly hilarious (obvi). I thought they did a great job of interpreting each hero's costume (is that the right word?...don't mean to offend comic book connoisseurs) into a hipster uniform. The PBR Iron Man is cracking me up, but the pose of Spiderman (and the witty Peter Parker photog reference) makes him my instant favorite.

The app that I'm working on for mobile development right now required a lot of flat icons, because if you check out any of your apps on your iPhone, iPod or iPad, the icons on the nav bar are pretty flat to reduce any sort of over-load that the viewer would experience. We made a chair, much like the one on your first poster, so that was interesting to see the comparison. Secondly, great find for the Superheros. I like the first one! Ha.
