I absolutely love computer graphic (CG) 3d art. Some renders look absolutely stunning and almost don't have distinction with reality. One of my previous articles showed some superb badass 3d fictional characters from CGTalk.

CGTalk is the forum from CGSociety. This is a great place where great CG artists like to show their work. This article rounds up 20 breathtaking realistic CG portraits by CGSociety.

Be prepared to see some amazing CG work. If you didn't know these were all created with a computer, would you think it was real? Don't forget to visit the CGCociety, a very inspirational place (Both for 2d and 3d).

Past weekend, Norway won the 54th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. Iceland got the second place and Azerbaijan got away third. I personally didn't really follow much of the contest since The Netherlands didn't even make it into the finals.

One thing that I really loved about the contest was their logo. The colourful bird (based upon a "Fantasy Bird") is a real sleek sub-logo next to the generic logo. While checking the logos from the previous years, I came across some very well designed logos for this contest.

This article is a roundup showing the evolution of the Eurovision Song Contest logo from 1956 (when the first contest was held) until now. Some logo's (especially in the early days) are nothing more than simple text. Later on, the logo became more complex, while some find their beauty in simplicity.

The generic logo was introduced in 2004 to create a consistent visual identity. The host country's flag appears in the heart. The logo from 2010 listed here is only the main logo: A sub-logo is not yet created. While looking at these amazing logos, you might see that the logo from 1973 is missing. EurovisionCovers and Wikipedia both show different (low quality) versions from that year.

Now make sure to check out this amazing inspirational logo collection showing some great Eurovision Song Contest logos over the past years.

The gaming industry can sometimes be a real source of inspiration. The designs, animation, graphics, music and storyline in each and every game can help you get your inspiration fluids running.

Although I don't play much games myself, I do like the way some game logos (and game covers) are designed.

On the picture above, you see Faith, the main character in Mirror's Edge. The game logo imitates the shape of the design around her right eye.

The list below shows some seriously sleek and well designed game logos for your inspiration. They all have one thing in common: The logo is more than "just the name of the game" in a fancy way. It's something where you can recognize the game of.

Music. Everybody listens to it and loves it. Some people like rock, some prefer pop music, while others only listen to electronic music.

There are some amazing (popular) music bands out there that have an incredibly amazing and inspiring website design. With their great music and their well designed online "business card", it helps in their success.

Sadly, there are many band websites out there that aren't really that inspirational. The sites from The Killers, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Panic! at the Disco, Green Day, Coldplay, Pink Floyd and many others could really use another layout.

Hope to see some great designs out there soon that might be inspired by these good-looking band websites.

Past saturday I visited another great Q-Dance event called Qlimax. There is a possibility you know the name already since I've mentioned them before. Next to the awesome hardstyle beats and wonderful show, Q-dance managed to create a super laser show. This was really inspirational and I'm sure you'll find this inspiration too in the beautiful lights.

This article rounds up some beautiful and wicked laser shows, just to get your design juices going. Get inspired by the beautiful lights that can help you in your next design work.

A while ago I placed an article about the colours of game heroes. That article showed the colour schemes of several game heroes, from Crash Bandicoot untill Yoshi.

Today, we're finding inspiration in the colour schemes of TV toons (cartoons). Did you know that Avatar Aang, Stewie Griffin or Homer Simpson could give you some nice inspiration too?

You could surely try out one of the following colour schemes in your next design project or artwork. I picked the most colourful toons that are (or recently were) on the TV. If you feel nostalgic, you can also watch (some of) these series online.

Inspiration can be found everywhere. Even in the games that everybody knows. Game heroes like Mario, Link, Donkey Kong and Mega Man are characters that almost everybody will recognize in an instant.

This article is showing the colours of game heroes just to feed your inspiration fluids and get them juiced up. I had to leave out heroes that don't have much color (like Solid Snake) or didn't had a high quality picture (like BattleToads). Enjoy!
