Siku, the Adorable Danish Polar Bear

Posted: 29 Dec 2011 10:09 PM PST

Polar bear cub "Siku" meaning 'Sea ice' in Greenlandic was born only a month ago but has had to be taken into care at the Scandinavian Wildlife Park in Denmark, after his mother failed to produce enough milk. This cute polar cub is blind and deaf, but suckles instinctively, making adorable squeaking noises as he slurps his milk.

Not surprisingly, the little guy already has his own Facebook page full of videos and updates, so if you need a further fix, be sure to drop in.

If Logos Were Honest

Posted: 29 Dec 2011 08:56 PM PST

Graphic designer from Sweden Viktor Hertz has created a cool series of logos redesigned to better explain what you're really going to find within the brand. Lucky for us, he's back with a new set of Honest Logos that are sure to make you laugh.

"An idea for a series with honest logos, revealing the actual content of the company, what they really should be called. Some are cheap, some might be a bit funny, some will maybe be brilliant. I don't know." says Viktor Hertz.

If you asked me about the key figures of 2011, Justin Bieber and Charlie Sheen would be the last names to come out of my mouth.
