New York designer Ji Lee has launched an admirable project to collect and archive photographs of logos that incorporate the twin towers of the World Trade Center. Lee rightly believes this project is vital, as many of the small business won’t last forever. A site is up, wtclogo.com, where visitors can add to the growing collection.

Projects like this are important for collecting and preserving American ephemera and visual culture. Worth exploring too, there are some good finds. (via Dezeen).

Not every day does the sports page yield a tract on design. With the Super Bowl coming on Sunday, John Branch gives thought to the growth of the big game’s logo.
