Data Visualization, Infographic Design, Visual Thinking, Product Development and Marketing professional fascinated by good infographics. Always looking for better ways to get the point across.
With the new Iron Man movie in theaters, everyone has Tony Stark on the mind. But have you noticed the scary similarities between the fictional character and Elon Musk? The Is Elon Musk The Real Life Tony Stark? infographic from vcars.co.uk gives us the breakdown on each guy and then summarizes the similarities and differences.
Definitely a fun design. I wish they had visualized any of the data for easier comparison, like height and net worth.
The Evolution of Batman poster designed by Cathryn Lavery from Calm the Ham is a visual history of the Batman symbol over the years. I can’t think of any consumer logo that has changed this much, but the Batman logo remains a very powerful and recognizable brand.
A comprehensive and extensive chart of the Batman logo evolution, spanning over 72 years from 1940 - 2012 to map the transformation of a timeless hero. Thanks to DC Comics for creating this cultural icon that we can all obsess over, all logos belong to them.
The infographic timeline covers 72 years (1940-2012) and shows different version of Mr. Wayne’s logo so the reader can easily distinguish the different iterations. Additional information like the year and media publication format are listed in text. I would have liked to see them spaced out along an actual timeline, but this design format fits better on a standard poster. Three different size posters are available from the Calm the Ham site.
I found this design on the FastCoDesign site, but a few other designers have also tackled this specific history. Cathryn Lavery mentions this 2008 video from Rodrigo Alejandro Rojas Sandoval as being the first one she knows of that had attempted this:
I saw this design on Nathan Yau’s FlowingData site in 2010, but he wasn’t able to cite the original source. This one shows fewer versions, and doesn’t include any additional information.
Joe Stone just posted his design of the X-Men Family Tree. Connection lines styles and colors reveal the type of relationship. Silhouettes or minimal illustrations give the reader just enough visual cues to identify each of the mutants. How many can you identify?
A little Illustrator-drawn infographic I’ve been playing around with. I probably could have included more characters, but I had to draw the line somewhere.
Joe has also made a high-resolution version available for anyone that wants to print it out! Thanks Joe!
This is a really TALL infographic, but fun to read through nevertheless. The Evolution of the Batmobile from Carinsurance.org (I wish they would credit the designer) is a visual timeline in the form of a comic book page looking at many (I’m sure they missed some, but not many) versions of the Batmobile from 1941 to 2010. They also cover different versions from comics, television, movies, ads, posters and computer games.
The Batmobile has always been the trademark vehicle for Batman. However, throughout the history of the comic, the Batmobile has undergone some changes to its design and gadgets. Here’s an overview of some of the evolutions of the Batmobile.
